A small rocky beach, famous for the wild monkeys that live here right in the rocks. An atmospheric place, but you should be careful - the monkeys can be impudent. I like their break in the rock - a very atmospheric place. It’s relatively easy to get up there, but be careful: God forbid your foot slips, and you’ll end up flying head over heels and all hell breaks loose. The view from there is great, but safety comes first. Be careful.

The island can be reached in 40 minutes by boat from Pata. It is absolutely beautiful compared to the sea in Pattaya. Recommended for people who want to relax on an island beach away from the city center. The main means of transportation will be rental bikes or chartered cars.
