It is recommended to visit with a personal guide, only by speedboat, there is a risk of running into a crowd of sightseeing tourists. It's a heavenly place without people. We had a boat with 4 engines that arrived very quickly. Long-tailed boats sail for several hours, please note

Azure waters, the smallest snow-white sand - the beach is simply gorgeous. No wonder this place was chosen for the filming of the movie "The Beach" starring Leonardo DiCaprio. But popularity has a downside - just a wave of tourists, and all the time. The filming of the film brought not only popularity to the island, but also troubles to its creators, however, partly well-deserved. The Americans behaved like a pig, without coordination with the Thai authorities, they concreted some places of the island, abandoned the scenery for the film after the filming, for which King Rama the 9th imposed a ban on the filmmakers from entering Thailand for various periods, and Leonardo DiCaprio received the maximum punishment - a lifetime ban. Currently, there is no swimming on this beach, entry into the water is only knee-deep, drones are prohibited.

A super place. It's worth a visit. But I managed to get there the third time. We were driven around all the islands for an hour and a half, waiting for when it would be possible to dock there. There are too many people. It took a long time to get off the dock, too. Crowds of tourists. Right shoulder to shoulder, everyone moves along these steps and trails. They give you half an hour to visit. Everyone's running, running. It's beautiful, of course, but it's so complicated)))
