Hello…..there !!! How’s life ? We hope you have a happy & wonderful living. As usual, it’s time to present the new topic. It is “Koh Rok / Rok Islands”. If you mention the attractions of Krabi province that are very popular with tourists, many people will think about the beautiful seascape, clear waters, white sandy beaches. One of them is “Koh Rok”, which is nicknamed “the Queen of the Andaman” because of its long and smooth sandy beaches. The waters are crystal clear, and there are plenty of shallow corals and beautiful marine fish to dive into the underwater world. Recently, it was announced that the tours will be open from October 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024.
Koh Rok has been declared a part of Mu Ko Lanta National Park consisting of 2 islands, Koh Rok Nai and Koh Rok Nok. The side facing each other is a sandy beach, separated by a shallow sea trough, the distance of the islands is about 250 meters. In front of Koh Rok Nok, there is a fine white sandy beach stretching from the head to the end of the island. People who like to walk & release your feelings along the beach, or even anyone who wants to jump in the water can do so. The highlight of the Rok Islands is the coral reef around the island and along the waterways. Most of them are chunks of corals. There are many sea anemones & clownfish. In the deep areas, soft corals are also found, but in small numbers.
Koh Rok is a paradise for divers, both deep and shallow water. The eastern coral of the island is full of abundance, including antler coral, brain coral, disc coral, colorful anemones and clownfish. In addition, there are also frequent reports of whale shark sightings in the area of Red Purple Stone, the waters on the outskirts of Koh Rok. That makes the divers dream of getting up close. The main diving spots of Koh Rok are on the beach in front of Koh Rok Nok and on Koh Rok Nai in the channel between islands that extends all the way to the sea in front of the shrine beach. These two are beautiful coral dive sites. In the evening, you can also see the beauty of the last light of day at Hin Ngam Bay. As for the sunrise, just wake up a little early to see the first rays of the day in front of the tent.
Koh Rok is in Krabi waters that connect to the Trang Sea. It is a small island set side by side, an island with a long sandy beach. Fine sand is soft to the touch of white sand. The tourism atmosphere of Koh Rok is suitable for those who love to find beautiful, quiet and romantic views of nature. There are beautiful beaches and the sea is very shallow and clear. Coral reefs rich in sea anemones and especially, are home to orange and yellow clownfish, which the bright colors make everyone love them.

It offers a view of Koh Rok Nok and Koh Rok Nai and is another very beautiful sunset spot.
“Koh Rok Waterfall” is a natural beauty in the middle of the Andaman Sea, considered another wonderful tourist attraction of the Andaman Sea. It is an island in Krabi and Trang provinces by taking care of Mu Ko Lanta National Park. It can be reached from both Krabi, Trang and Phuket. As a paradise for divers, “Koh Rok Waterfall” is also another tourist attraction that should not be missed because one year will only be seen for 1-2 months. From mid-October to late November, the chances of seeing them are only for a short time before the waterfall dries up.This has occurred naturally for a long, long time.
