Nang Yuan Island: A heavenly sea view in Surat Thani that mr.hotsia must share

From mr.hotsia’s personal experience visiting Nang Yuan Island, the journey starts from the pier on Koh Tao, the main sea tourism hub in the area. The boat ride to Nang Yuan Island takes about 15-20 minutes. You can choose between a speedboat or a long-tail boat depending on your convenience, but for a truly immersive experience, the speedboat is recommended as it is faster and safer.
Nang Yuan Island is not very large, but what makes it stand out is the combination of three small islands connected by fine white sandy spits that you can easily walk across. The contrast of white sand against the clear blue sea made mr.hotsia pick up the camera to capture many shots. The peaceful atmosphere and clear water where you can see fish swimming beneath your feet is an experience hard to find elsewhere.
