Not just another interesting attraction, Ko Muk
is the most outstanding attraction in the Trang Sea and an ideal
destination for tourists enthralled with nature. The island, which is
nearly opposite Hat Chang Lang on the mainland, has impeccable beaches
suitable for swimming and camping and lovely corals around the island
that are worth exploring. In addition, The island is comprised of high
and majestic cliffs facing the sea to the west, a fishing village on
the east facing the mainland and swallows that make the numerous cliffs
their home.
Hidden in the jungle, among the cliffs is the
awesome Tham Morakot. The cave entrance is a small passage on the
islands western side that is accessible by boat during low tide. The
cave itself winds for about 80 meters to the other exit, opening onto a
clean white beach with an emerald color open pool which is surrounded
by high cliffs.
To see real fishermens' daily activities, visit
Ao Phangkha and the Muslim fishing village of Kua Laem, located at the
southern end of the island.
To get to Ko Muk, tourists can take a boat from
Pak Meng Pier in Amphoe Sikao for the 40-minute trip. The rental fee
for the boat is approximately 1,500 bahts / day. Accommodations are
available on the island.
