Koh Kradan

Set to the south of Ko Muk and Ko Ngai, Ko Kradan is one of the most isolated of all the islands in Trang province -- or at least of those with accommodation on them anyway.Add to the isolation a generous dose of pristine white-sand beache, a lushly jungled interior and just a handful of places to stay, and you've got the full desert island package. Because of the isolation, many choose to visit Ko Kradan on a daytrip from Ko Ngai or Ko Muk, but with one particularly great place to stay, it's not a bad spot for a longer break -- especially if you're in need of some time out from the world.There's not much to do here -- but then again, that's sort of the point. You can easily fill your days lying in the sun, and admiring the views out over distant neighbouring islands. Ko Kradan enjoys splendid views of Ko Muk, Ko Libong and the mainland.If you're feeling a little more active, you can snorkel out to the nearby reef, in hope of glimpsing a sea turtle or a lionfish.That said we have heard reports that the reefs are pretty banged up around Ko Kradan, so you're more likely to see lots of fish rather than too much in the way of spectacular corals.
Ko Kradan is also the site of the underwater weddings the TAT organise every year -- so if you're looking for a unique way to tie the knot -- Ko Kradan could be an option.

Getting there and away
Boat
As one of Trang's most isolated islands, Ko Kradan is also one of the most expensive islands to get to. Since there are no public boats making the trip, your only option is to book a transfer from a Trang island tourist office -- expect to pay around 600baht per person. Reaching Ko Kradan from neighbouring islands isn't any cheaper, though most resorts on Ko Ngai and Ko Muk will be happy to help arrange a pricey boat service for you.
