Tip from Content Creator

Koh Nang Yuan Koh Nang Yuan

Wake up early and head from this rental to the nearby Koh Nang Yuan. I recommend visiting the island as early as 9am (when it opens to day visitors) to get the perfect beach photo without any stragglers in the background. By 10/10:30am, the island starts to get busy.
