…. about Koh Sukorn, Trang Province , Thailand
" Koh Sukorn is the new destination in Southern Trang Province,
far from the crowds, but easy to reach ! "
“ There are only a few cars on the island, transport mainly
by
foot and (motor-)bike-taxi’s.“
Welcome on Koh Sukorn !!
Koh Sukorn Island in southern Trang Province is Thai
countryside. The island offers a quiet and laid-back atmosphere,
an ideal get-away for those seeking to avoid the busy tourist centres.
To visit Koh Sukorn means sharing the island with the 500 friendly
and warm-hearted Sukorn-families(ca. 2.800 inhabitants),
who live in 4 villages,
mainly working as fishermen and (rubber-)farmers. There are only
a few pickup-trucks/cars on the island, transportation by foot
and (motor)bikes(-taxi).
Sukorn Island , 4 x 8 kms, is rather flat, 2 hills reach 150 mtr,
on one is the Viewpoint.
On Koh Sukorn’s west-side are the best beaches, very good
for relaxing, sun-bathing and swimming. The scenery and
views over the Andaman Sea towards the nearby islands
are beautiful with stunning and colourful sunsets.
Besides enjoying the sea, beach and sun, there is more to do!
Koh Sukorn’s infrastructure is extremely good and the new
(cement-)roads let you visit every corner of the island:
perfect for exploring Thai countryside during walking-
and (mountain/motor)bike-trips. Admire the islands ‘green’ nature,
climb up to the Viewpoint, spend some time at the always
busy boat-piers, visit the unspoiled mangrove-forests with
many birds, learn about rubber-processing and how rubber-latex
is ‘tapped’ from the trees. See the still freely roaming groups of waterbuffalos, try the tasty Sukorn watermelons. Be welcome to
visit the 02 schools and the small crab-market, watch squid,
shrimps and many other species of fresh fish arriving with the
local fishermen on the many beaches(delicious fresh seafood !).
For diving and snorkeling you can join the daily excellent boat trips
to the nearby islands Koh Takiang, the beautiful twin-islands
Koh Laoliang and to the Koh Petra National Park .
You can reach Koh Sukorn ofcourse from the mainland,
but also arrive by longtail boat direct from other nearby islands
Koh Bulon Lae , Tarutao Island and Koh Lipe (in Satun Province)
and from Koh Libong, Koh Kradan, Koh Ngai and Koh Mook
(in Trang Province ). Island Hopping is safe and easy in the area.
