Koh Mook is a small island. Accommodations are available around it. You can travel around the island by motorbike. There are boat trips to snorkel around the surrounding islands. The atmosphere is good, suitable for relaxing, very slowlife.

Dreckig. Das einzige was mir dazu einfällt. Es ist alles zugemüllt. Es stinkt überall. Scherben am Strand. Der Verkehr auf der kleinen Strasse ist eine Katastrophe. Von Morgens bis Abends lärm. Streunende, verletzte und kranke Tiere überall. Mücken ohne Ende, in Ao Nang oder Koh Lanta mussten wir diese Suchen. Meine Freundin hat am ersten Tag eine Verstimmung im Magen bekommen, dafür waren wir heute schon im Krankenhaus. Geht man bei den Taxis (TukTuk) vorbei sind Sie jedesmal lästig und wollen ein Geschäft machen, um dich auf der 500m langem Strasse zu fahren. Nie und nimmer würde ich mit meinen Kindern herkommen, genauso wenig werde ich nochmals nach koh muk reisen. Man kann hier nicht wirklich etwas unternehmen, länger als 2 Nächte sollte man hier auf keinen Fall bleiben. Für uns einfach nur Verschwendung, von unserer kostbaren Zeit und von unserem Geld.
