It was so beautiful white sand little beach but now has been destroyed by Big tours. So many tourist a once, and jet skiing all over. We can not swim because it is too scary from Jest skii. Restaurants are so so. What's else to do here?!?! Sadly #nontasak #destroyed #tat
16/11/2025 11:48Khai Nok Island is a beautiful and relaxing tropical destination. The clear turquoise water, soft white sand, and colorful fish near the shore make it perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The island is clean, well maintained, and offers a peaceful escape from crowded beaches. A great place to enjoy nature, take photos, and unwind. Highly recommended for island lovers.
30/12/2025 17:56This is last island of the Khai Island's tour, usually the snacks are arranged on this island. There is no free seating space and the eateries are very highly priced.
The water is very clear, you can see the fishes swimming near the shore.
Over all good place to chill.
Most probably you’ll land here with a tour company when you take a Phi Phi island tour with them.
Be ready to shell out extra bucks for regular stuff. To their credit it’s an isolated island so getting stuff in would be costly.
Once side is the island is infested with crabs so beware. Over all it’s not very great but a good resting point between the multiple island hops you’d make.
If you are traveling here with a tour company for island hopping, be ready for get to pay a lot of money for sit at the beach, you will be tired at this stage and you will have to pay. It’s just commercial, nothing else, but if you come here solo, the island is beautiful. Come have a swim then go back where you come from.
