You only have 15 minutes to walk on the beach in front of the resort in the morning. The beach is beautiful. If you have time, next time you will come and explore again.

Koh Kradan, Trang: Paradise of the Blue Sea Fine white sand beach The sea water is so clear you can see the sand. It is an island that is praised for having some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The atmosphere is quiet. Suitable for truly relaxing. A must-do activity is snorkeling to see colorful corals and schools of beautiful fish. There is a diving spot at Niang Bay where you can admire the underwater world up close. There is also a stunning sunset viewing point. Koh Kradan is therefore another Unseen paradise of Trang that should not be missed.
