'''Ko Ngai''' (???????) is an island district in Trang Province. Like many other coastal destinations in South Thailand it is known for its diving and long white beaches.

Understand

Koh Ngai (Hai) is a tiny island measuring 4 kilometres long and 2 kilometres wide. Mountainous and covered by tropical forest, much of the coastline is indented with rocky headlands, while the eastern part has some beautiful sand beaches, and in the south coconut plantations and more beautiful smaller beaches.

Don't be surprised to see crab-eating monkeys and monitor lizards coming down from the mountains. In the uninhabited western and northern parts of the island, bird watchers should have a field day looking out for migrating birds. Snorkeling is easy along the western and southern coast, where some reefs can be accessed directly from the beach.

Get in

From Pak Meng pier, located 15 kilometres away on the mainland opposite, in Trang Province. Standard ferry takes about one hour. A faster speedboat connection from Pak Meng Pier is also available, departing around the same time. It takes just 20 minutes.

From Koh Lanta there is no scheduled ferry service to Ko Ngai although it is possible to rent a private longtail from Saladan (Ko Lanta) during high season (Nov - April).

Get around

There are no roads on the island, so getting around from one beach to another is done on foot, or longtail boats that can be hired at the resorts.
