Destination Focus: Koh Phai Group

Located 23km off Pattaya’s coast, the Koh Phai Group is a small archipelago of uninhabited islands which includes Koh Klung Badan, Koh Man Wichai and Koh Luam with Koh Phai (also known as Bamboo Island) the largest of the group. Under the supervision of the Royal Thai Navy these islands are kept in pristine condition with no facilities onshore and no overnight stays allowed.

Koh Phai has a green hilly interior, at its widest point is 1.5km and has a 150 metre summit on top of which stands a lighthouse. The island is famous for its palm-fringed white-sand beaches and has possibly some of the best snorkeling and divining with natural corals of anywhere in the Pattaya area.
