Editorial Assessment

Ko Phai is a lovely natural destination with pristine beaches and excellent snorkeling opportunities. Its tranquility and natural beauty offer a peaceful escape for visitors. The lack of any human settlement helps maintain its untouched charm. However, its relative obscurity and lack of unique geological formations prevent it from reaching the highest tier of natural landmarks.

We visited this island on a Biblio Globus excursion. We wouldn't go again and wouldn't recommend it. Yes, the water is beautiful and blue, there aren't many people around, and the food (cabbage soup, cabbage, rice, and a cutlet) and drinks (soda, soft drinks, and rum) are included. BUT, the time is very short: they dropped us off at 10:30 a.m. and by 3:30 p.m. they asked us to pack. Only five hours. Honestly, it wasn't enough for us. The sand isn't very good, it's shell-like (your feet sink in and it's uncomfortable to walk). It's a bit pricey, in our opinion – 5,400 baht, or about 12,000 rubles, for two people. For that price, you could visit Koh Lan 5-8 times. Tien Beach (on Koh Lan) is just as beautiful. We went there for 640 baht per day for two (including a round-trip taxi to the port, ferry, tuk-tuks on the island, sun loungers), we took drinks with us or bought them at 7/11.
