Ranong, when mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is Koh Phayam.
Today, we're reviewing the claim: "Koh Phayam: Effortless Paradise." Is it truly effortless?
Indeed! You don't have to save a lot of money to travel. Affordable and enjoyable experiences are truly available.
We departed early in the morning on Nok Air flight 05.45, arriving at Ranong Airport at 7:00 AM.
Nok Air offers complimentary in-flight beverages. Enjoy a refreshing drink while taking in the stunning views.
The view from the plane is so beautiful that I can't sleep. It's amazing in Ranong, Thailand.
And here I am... in Ranong!
The blue shared taxis will take you from the airport to the pier for 50 baht per person. The journey takes about 40-50 minutes. We booked a room at Vichit Bungalow for 600 baht per night and also booked a round-trip speedboat for 540 baht per person. The speedboat takes 30-40 minutes. We left at 9:30 am, which gave us plenty of time. If we had taken the regular ferry, it would have taken 2 hours, which might have made us seasick.
While riding in the car, I smelled something delicious. Ranong dim sum! Uncle, please stop the car! Looking at the clock, I saw that I had 1 hour left. At that moment, I didn't care about the boat anymore. I wanted to eat first. 5555
Don't miss out on the dim sum in Ranong, or you'll be missing out on the best part! We ordered and ate quickly, checking the clock at 9:20 AM. OMG!! We had 10 minutes to spare. We went outside and waited for the next songthaew in front of the shop. Luckily, we found one right away. Don't worry about transportation in Ranong; you'll always see songthaews around. The second songthaew cost 15 baht, and an additional 15 baht to reach the pier. Let's go!
We arrived around 9:40 AM and immediately jumped on the boat. There were 9 of us, and we had already purchased round-trip tickets.
It took only 35 minutes to reach Koh Phayam. The sun was quite strong. The most convenient and economical way to travel on Koh Phayam is to rent a motorbike. The first shop on the left at the corner of the pier rents them for 150 baht per day, and you can negotiate the return time.
The journey from the pier to Vichit Bungalow takes less than 10 minutes. The atmosphere is right by the sea, and when you step out of your room, you are greeted by the ocean. We stayed at Ao Khao Kwai.
For photos of the room, you can check out the Facebook page: Vijit bungalows. For us, 600 baht is very cheap on the island. The room is a fan room, but there is electricity available all the time. From our accommodation, you can walk to watch the sunset at the Hin Ta and Hin Yai rocks.
As the evening tide recedes, the seabed is revealed, allowing for exploration on foot. The area is teeming with marine life, including an abundance of shrimp and shellfish.
The place is full of crabs.
It's definitely worth the trip to come here and relax while watching the sunset.
The fine, clean sand allows for easy walking across the entire beach.
In our resting area, there is a tree of an unknown species with branches and a hollow that provide a perfect spot for taking photos.
Lying in the room and looking out to this view, I could stay here for a month. Even though the sun is strong, there are many trees and a cool breeze, so air conditioning isn't necessary here.
At night, it is recommended to turn on the flashlight and walk, as hundreds of hermit crabs will come out. There are so many! I've never seen so many.
Breakfast menu, enjoying the waves and sunlight, time to pack up and leave this island.
As the saying goes, slowing down and appreciating the world around us can bring happiness.
