Koh Pak Bia Island Excursion

The compact island of Koh Pak Bia, which is located near Phi Phi Island, is the center of attraction for tourists, attracting them like a magnet. Here you can contemplate the pristine nature, sunbathe on white beaches and completely disconnect from worries.

Brief description

The main advantage of the island is the vast beach, which is suitable for sunbathing. Here it is better not to swim because of the coral bottom: when entering the water you need to wear special shoes. Koh Pak Bia is a favorite place for snorkeling and diving. The underwater kingdom in its vicinity is magnificent and diverse.

This beach is a secluded, untouched corner of nature, without the extra amenities that Phuket tourists are used to. The island can be reached exclusively by water.

The advantages of the location are:

The beauty of nature. Magnificent sandy beach four hundred meters long, with an exceptional view of the equally charming neighboring islands, fine white sand and clear crystal waters. The paradisiacal landscape is complemented by lush tropical vegetation and the almost perfectly vertical cliffs that girdle the beach. The karst landscape attracts a lot of tourists.
Lagoon. In the northeastern part of the island, between the cliffs, there is a natural lagoon whose beauty is breathtaking. Its unusually bright green waters and the foliage of shrubs and trees growing right on the rocks mesmerize anyone lucky enough to witness this natural wonder.
Flora and Fauna. The island’s animal and plant life is diverse. It is hard to find a Thai island that would compete with Koh Pak Bia in this parameter. Especially there are a lot of varans here. These reptiles are only scary in appearance, in fact they are “terrible on the face, kind inside”.
Rich underwater world. Studying underwater inhabitants does not require special skills and equipment. You can do without a special mask, as the sea near the shore is relatively shallow: you can observe the movements of fish with the naked eye. Try to lure fish with a banana – for sea creatures it is a real delicacy. With the help of bait you can attract almost any sea creature, and he will willingly take food right out of your hands.
Visitors can take advantage of kayaking around the island.

The best time to visit is from late fall to mid-spring, when temperatures are at +30°C, the sea is calm, rainfall is minimal and winds are light.

Distance and travel time from Chalong Pier

In a straight line it is about 48 km (26 nautical miles) from Chalong Pier to Koh Pak Bia. This is an approximate straight-line distance, not an exact navigational figure — the actual route on the water is always somewhat longer.

For a motor yacht, a crossing of this length typically takes about 1–2 hours, depending on the yacht, the weather and the state of the sea. The departure pier is also chosen to suit the route and the vessel, so we confirm the exact timing and departure point when planning your trip.

When planning a longer day on the water, this trip is often combined with Hong Island (Krabi) or Koh Lao Lading.
