Splendid white sand beaches, clear water, rainforest in the interior, a handful of resorts to stay and splendid views of Ko Muk, Ko Libong and the mainland: This is Ko Kradan in Trang province, part of Haad Chao Mai National Park.If you go snorkeling you might meet seaturtles or lionfishes. "The main beach is a drop dead gorgeous 2km long white sand job on the eastern side of the island", notes tezza.backpackinthailand.com. More informations on kradanisland.com
From June 1 to September 30 in 2019 Ko Kradan will be closed for tourists. The chief of the Haad Chao Mai national park, Narong Kong-iad, said that access to the park will be denied for “the nature to rehabilitate itself” according to The Nation. Had Chao Mai National Park says a sharp rise in tour boat activity during the Songkran holiday seriously damaged coral reefs, prompting the need to impose strict regulations to enable rehabilitation, reported Bangkok Post.
