Duck Island and Chicken Island: A Sea of Anemones in Chumphon Province

This year, my body craves the sea more than ever. Last month, I went diving in Koh Lipe, but it wasn't enough. I needed more, so I found another diving trip that ended up at Koh Rhan Phet and Koh Rhan Kai, two newly opened islands.

Research and review: Oh my god! The anemones are so beautiful... Is it a lie? The Gulf of Thailand is more beautiful than the Andaman Sea? I don't believe it... They must have edited the photos. (Disappointed with the Jabang Channel, the seven-color coral is only a small patch, the water is strong and cloudy, and it's deep and you can't see the color. 55)

At Ped Island and Kai Island, if you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of whale sharks swimming and playing with tourists. It's an experience you have to see to believe! Don't just rely on social media, come and witness it for yourself.

Book accommodation and tours. I don't want to go on a one-day trip because it might be tiring. The driver might not get enough sleep, which could be dangerous while driving.

From Bangkok at 6:00 AM to Bang Baid Beach, approximately 400 kilometers. Stop for breakfast and lunch, arriving at the accommodation at 1:00 PM. Travel time is 7 hours. Wow, even without traffic, it's quite a distance. Haha.

The rooms we stayed in were individual bungalows, offering privacy and comfort for up to four guests. Surrounded by lush greenery, the accommodations provided a tranquil atmosphere. Additionally, the property boasts a swimming pool for guests to enjoy.

In the evening, they went for a walk on the beach.

However, there was a lot of garbage on the beach. Fortunately, the other car had cleaning equipment on board, so we let the children help clean up. This was a good opportunity to instill in them the importance of environmental protection, so that they can grow up to be responsible adults in the future.

The bag was full in no time.

Very good! You're done with your work. Go have fun!

Hooray! I get to play now.

Let's grab some dinner. I'm starving.

The sun has risen, but unfortunately, the mountains are blocking our view.

Turning to the other side, wow, the faint mist on the mountain.

It's a pity the fishing boat has returned. I missed seeing what they caught.

After breakfast, we boarded the boat at 8:00 AM.

The loyal dog came out to see its owner off. (Don't worry, I'll be back soon. We'll see each other at noon. 55)

The boat was slow to depart, as usual, so I ended up sitting at the back. 555

Note: The original text includes an informal expression "555" which is often used in online communication to represent laughter. In the translation, I have opted to omit this expression as it may not be appropriate in a formal academic context.

After a 40-minute ride, we arrived at the Duck Restaurant Island.

Racha Noi Island, also known as "Duck Island," is a small island with no beaches. Boats will stop here for a 1-hour snorkeling session. The coral reefs here are stunning, forming vast meadows rather than scattered patches. Dive in and see for yourself!

I almost screamed when I looked down. My God, it's a field of flowers! (Photo credit: Badabid team) My phone camera can take pictures, but it's not clear. I can't compete with them.

You don't need to bring your camera, as there is a free photography service available. (In this day and age, with high competition, offering such services attracts more customers. It's smart to have the boat stop and let customers play on their own.)

We have multiple cameras available. Please feel free to request our services.

Magnificent! It was worth every penny. Initially, I thought 2,500 baht was expensive, but upon seeing it with my own eyes, it was truly breathtaking. There were countless fish, literally tens of thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands. I even encountered a school of squid. It was an unforgettable experience.

Remember who is who, their clothes, and their mannerisms. Haha.

Unfortunately, the whale shark didn't show up today. The staff suggested we try our luck at Chicken Island, where we might have a chance of seeing it.

Chicken Island is teeming with seagulls that constantly defecate. Avoid looking up with your mouth open! However, it cannot compete with the beauty of Duck Island.

We could have swum around the island and passed through the channel, but we didn't because we dropped our underwater camera. So we didn't swim anywhere. Haha. We'll have to come back and try again next time.

12:00 PM: Arrival at accommodation, followed by showering and lunch. 2:00 PM: Check-out. 9:00 PM: Arrival home. 7 hours total travel time (excluding meal breaks). Severe traffic congestion encountered on Rama II Road near kilometer 40 due to road construction.

Impressed but not entirely satisfied. It's a pity that Mount Fuji was obscured. It's also a shame that we didn't get to see the younger siblings (Prik Thai and Mali). We will definitely return for another attempt. We love you, Duck Island and Chicken Island.

Expenses

2500 Baht per person for 2 days 1 night, including accommodation, 3 meals (dinner, breakfast, lunch), snorkeling tour, and free photos.
