Welcome to Island Hopping in the Andaman Sea of Thailand
Koh Sukorn, Koh Sukhon Islands
Koh Sukorn Island lies off the coast of southern Trang Province and measures 8 x 4 kilometres. The island is rather flat, only 2 hills reach heights of 150 metres, on one of them is the viewpoint overlooking the Andaman Sea and the island itself.
Ko Sukhon Island is the new destination in Southern Trang Province, far from the crowds, but easy to reach. Deepest Thai country-side and 'off the beaten track: on Sukorn Island life is going on much as it always has been, which is fine with visitors who don't want to feel like tourists.
Ko Sukorn Island has about 2500 inhabitants, mainly fishermen and farmers, who live in 4 villages. In 2002, there are only 6 cars on the island, transportation is by foot and motorbike (-taxi). A school, a police station and a health centre are on the island. Be welcome to meet the friendly Sukorn people during walking- or (mountain-) bike trips. Enjoy the islands "green" nature, see how rubber-latex is "tapped" from the trees, and watch how the fresh fish arrives with the local fishermen on the many beaches. Koh Sukhon Island is the ideal basis for visits to the rocky islands of Koh Petra National Park, as there are Lao Liang, Petra, and Takiang Islands.
