Koh Laoliang is a hidden gem located in Southern Thailand, part of the Trang province. This small island, known for its secluded beauty, is part of the Mu Koh Petra National Park. Its tranquil atmosphere and untouched nature make it a perfect escape for travelers looking for peace and adventure alike.
Traveling to Koh Laoliang is primarily done via speedboat or longtail boat. Visitors typically depart from Hat Yao Pier or Pak Meng Pier, which are the two main departure points in Trang. Speedboats are the fastest option, offering a quick and scenic journey to the island. Longtail boats, while slower, provide a more traditional and relaxing experience, allowing you to soak in the surrounding views of the Andaman Sea. Both options are reliable, and the journey takes approximately 40 minutes by speedboat and a little longer by longtail boat, depending on sea conditions.
Koh Laoliang is renowned for its stunning limestone cliffs, pristine beaches, and crystal-clear waters. It is a dream destination for rock climbers, snorkelers, and those who simply wish to unwind in a natural, unspoiled setting. The island's natural environment is its main draw, with limited development to preserve its serenity. Tents and eco-friendly accommodations are available, making it a true retreat into nature.
Koh Laoliang offers a variety of activities, from rock climbing on its towering limestone cliffs, suitable for both beginners and experienced climbers, to exploring the vibrant marine life through snorkeling and diving. With limited tourist traffic, the island provides a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for relaxing on pristine beaches and reconnecting with nature. For those seeking adventure, kayaking around the island unveils hidden caves and secluded coves, adding to the island’s allure.
