Hello summer! This is my first time reviewing a trip in Thailand ^^"

The beach season has arrived... This trip was to Phuket, one of the places I love the most. I used to live there, and no matter how many times I go back, I never get tired of it. The beauty is never the same, even if it's the same place.

But this review will take you to some amazing places that I also visited for the first time. These are "Koh Hey" and "Laem Krating", but on different days.

Coral Island, or Koh He, is a small island located at the southernmost tip of Phuket. It takes only 15-20 minutes to reach by speedboat from Chalong Pier. We purchased a one-day trip package from Banana Beach for 1,800 baht (Thai price).

//Note: We are just an impressed tourist and have no affiliation with the company.

The car will pick you up at the pier at 8:30 am. Please wait at the restaurant, Kaneng @ Pier, for the boat. A light breakfast will be provided.

After the guide finished explaining everything, we boarded the boat.

Before I even felt seasick, we had already arrived at the island...so fast.

The tour takes you to Banana Beach (a private beach) on the island. This beach is stunning, with very few people and no noisy Chinese tour groups. This is exactly what I like.

The roof of the dome on this island resembles the beak of a hornbill, as hornbills reside here. Let's see if we can spot one!

Note: The original text is empty, so the translation is also empty.

We also encountered hornbills.

After admiring the island's beauty for approximately one hour, we prepared for snorkeling and enjoyed 40 minutes of underwater exploration.

Return to the island for lunch.

English:

In the afternoon, we were free to do whatever we wanted. There were regular kayaks available, but we opted for the 20-minute clear kayak ride, which was included in the package. This was something I had been looking forward to, and it was only available at this beach. It was truly beautiful, perfectly complementing the crystal-clear water. I absolutely loved it!

"Following with Paracelsus for 1,300 baht is expensive, but I'd like to try it once."

There are many other activities available, but they require an additional fee.

The trip ended and we arrived at the shore around 4:30 PM.

---------------------------------

**Laem Krating** is a new and booming viewpoint in Phuket.
The journey is quite challenging and mysterious, taking about 30-40 minutes to walk. But believe me, it's worth the trip.

Drive to Nai Harn Beach, passing through The Nai Harn Hotel and Ao Sane. You will see a sign for Baan Krating Resort. Park your car outside the resort.

Leave your ID card with the security guard, as you will need to walk through the resort to access the beach. Turn left after entering the resort and walk down to the beach. Follow the resort wall as you walk.

Upon reaching the beach, turn right and walk along the rocky outcrop. *It is advisable to wear sneakers!* as the path is quite adventurous.

After the rocky section, you will reach a ridge. Be careful as the path is narrow and steep with a significant drop. It is advisable to wear long pants due to the tall and dense grass.

We were accompanied by three companions on our journey, and we encountered several people walking in the opposite direction along the way.

The pointed rocks shaped like a sailboat mark the arrival at the landmark.

The wind here is incredibly strong. I went up to take a picture on the rocks, and I almost got blown away.

The hillside is covered in wildflowers, perfect for those who love a whimsical aesthetic.

We arrived at Laem Krating around 6:00 PM, but did not stay long. If you want to spend a significant amount of time here, it is recommended to arrive in the afternoon. If you arrive late in the evening, like us, you will need to leave before sunset due to the lack of lighting, which can be dangerous.

Note: There were a lot of millipedes along the way.

For those who are going, please be safe. Have fun.
