Find Hotels in Koh Phayam (Ranong), Thailand

Don't worry, Koh Phayam is a safe place, despite being so close to Burma.

So can't really comment.

the island beautiful.i enjoyed the sea and bush walks.

The food here is more expensive than other Islands I have been to and I think this is due to electricity being run off resorts own generators. The main beach is good for surfing but the snorkeling around the Island is not as good as other Islands I have visited. This could be due to the time of year though as we seemed to catch the Island just at the beginning of rainy season as we had a couple of big storms. I would recommend hiring motorbikes for your stay on Koh Phayam as the roads are quite safe and the only other way to get around is by taxi bike which can end up being expensive if you want to go to different beaches. There are a few beach parties to go to in the evenings which are well advertised around the Island. Overall I would recommend Koh Phayam as a place to see quiet unspoiled beaches with very few tourists.

The island will be able to visit on November to May, aparts from that most resorts are closed. On holiday, it's better to book the room before arrive than walk-in. Travellers may walk around the island or rent the motorbike. No ATM on the island. Minimart and restaurants mostly closed after 10 pm
