The largest and most developed of the three islands, Khai Nok features a long stretch of white sand, crystal-clear waters, beachside stalls, and plenty of sunbeds, making it the best spot for swimming, lounging, and enjoying island snacks.
Just a short speedboat ride from Phuket, the Khai Islands – Khai Nai, Khai Nok, and Khai Nui – offer some of the best snorkeling in the region. Swim among thriving coral reefs, schools of tropical fish, and even harmless baby reef sharks at Khai Nui. Relax on Khai Nok’s soft sandy beach or enjoy a seaside snack at a beachfront café. You can visit the Khai Islands on a dedicated half-day tour to explore all three or combine a Khai island with a Phi Phi Islands trip for a full-day adventure.
