2025 Koh Adang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Koh Adang, part of the Koh Tarutao National Marine Park, is one of the largest islands in the Adang Archipelago. It is located just across from the more developed and touristic Koh Lipe, and is only a 10-minute tail boat trip away. Adang remains a tranquil pocket of heaven despite its proximity to the throng on Lipe, which is what makes it so great. We enjoy going to Koh Lipe for the beach parties, crowds, and wonderful restaurants, then heading to Adang to get away from it all. #bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#seasidephotoguide#summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

#springitinerary 🕒 Time needed: The full trip — hiking up and down + photo stops — took us around 3 hours. From Sunrise Beach (Koh Lipe), it's just a 10–15 minute boat ride to Adang Island. 🥾 Hiking details: There are 3 scenic viewpoints along the way. Each one takes about 15 minutes to reach from the previous. That day, it suddenly poured rain halfway up, but we still pushed through to the summit 💪 On the way down, we passed Viewpoint 2, which was shrouded in mist — super dreamy! ⛵ Getting there: At Sunrise Beach, you’ll find many local boat captains offering rides to Koh Adang. 💰 Price: ~200 THB per person (round trip). ✅ Confirm pickup time in advance with your boatman. 💵 Tip: Bring cash — cards (like Visa) likely won’t work. 🎒 What to bring: Small breathable backpack or crossbody bag Water bottle 💧 Tissues Shoes: Water-friendly footwear for the boat + hiking shoes/sneakers (some people hiked in flip-flops, but it’s not ideal) Note: The hiking trail is all natural — no stairs — so watch for branches if you’re in sandals! 📍 Scenic Spots: There are 3 official viewpoints: Viewpoint 2 is the most stunning in my opinion 🌿🌫️ Viewpoint 3 is similar to 2, just from a different angle On clear days, you can fly a drone for epic shots 🚁 ✅ Ideal for: Outdoor lovers, drone enthusiasts, and anyone wanting to escape the crowds on Koh Lipe. #HikingAdventure #KohAdang #OutdoorLovers

If you're looking for a serene haven without party noise, beach bars, or crowded people, but with the sound of waves crashing ashore, the breeze rustling through pine leaves, and crystal-clear waters where you can see fish swimming beneath the surface, Adang Island in Tarutao National Park is the answer you've been searching for. This large island is located not far from Koh Lipe, but the atmosphere is worlds apart. Adang Island has no luxury resorts, no roads, no cars—just untouched nature in its purest form. Highlights not to miss: Chado Cliff: A viewpoint worth the climb The small trail leading up to Chado Cliff is a test for nature lovers. The reward for your effort is a breathtaking high-angle view of Koh Lipe, the multi-shaded sea, and an endless horizon. Laem Son Beach: A rare tranquility A stretch of clean white sand welcomes visitors with the shade of swaying pine trees and turquoise waters that look like they belong in a painting. An underwater world still intact Right off the beach, you can put on a snorkel and dive into a vibrant coral world, colorful fish, and an undisturbed marine environment. Majestic land-based nature From lush rainforests and towering mountains to diverse wildlife, including tiny hermit crabs and hornbills flying by in the morning—life here moves to the rhythm of nature, not the clock. Where to stay? No luxury hotels, no beachfront resorts—just national park accommodations and seaside camping grounds. Here, the sound of waves replaces air conditioning, stars replace neon lights, and peace replaces chaos. Getting there: Take a boat from Pak Bara Pier in Satun Province to Koh Lipe, then transfer to a long-tail boat to Adang Island. The journey is short, but the experience will last a lifetime. Highly recommended!

First trip to Koh Lipe, late season This solo trip opened up my experience of traveling alone to an island. Starting from buying a trip from the Thai Travel Fair, but this time, I had to travel alone. -When the appointed day arrived, I took a plane from Don Mueang to Hat Yai. -Waited for a van to pick me up to go to Pak Bara Pier (Satun), which took about 2 hours. -When I arrived at the pier, I continued my journey by speedboat that the tour had prepared. The trip to Lipe included stops at Tarutao National Park and Khai Island, where we could take photos. -We arrived at Koh Lipe by speedboat, which took a total of 2 hours (I recommend bringing a portable fan). -After checking in to our accommodation, we were able to walk around the island. -The island itself is quite small, so you can walk around it. The first place I recommend going to is Sunset Beach to watch the sunset. -After that, we could walk around to find something to eat at restaurants or walk to the walking street. -At around 8 pm, there will be a fire baton show in front of Pattaya Beach, which you can watch. -Day 2 -We came as scheduled according to the trip. To get on the boat to go snorkeling, we had a trip around 5 spots: Koh Hin Ngam, Rong Nam Jabang, Coral Seven Colors, Koh Yang, White Sand Beach Koh Rawi, and Koh Adang (I recommend you don't forget to bring the national park pass that you got on the first day with you). - After snorkeling, we went back to explore the island and continue playing in the water. This solo trip to Koh Lipe gave me many experiences. It was a way to review myself and heal my heart. For those who are lonely and don't know what to do, try going to the sea or the islands. Some 7 places, traveling alone, also gives us many things..

#2024TravelReview Thailand's Lipe Island is a world-famous tourist resort island🏝️, with thousands of tourists coming here for sightseeing and vacation every day. This time I want to introduce a marine park attraction in Koh Lipe's outer islands that I visited in 2024: Koh Adang, Tarutao National Park แหลมสน เกาะอาดัง. No admission fee required, free to visit. This outer island marine park is a few nautical miles away from the main island of Koh Lipe. You used to go to Sunrise Beach on Koh Lipe by taking a fisherman's speedboat 🚤taxi, which cost 100 baht one way and 200 baht round trip. The beach in Ocean Park is very beautiful. The water here is crystal clear, and the color of the water is turquoise like sapphire, making it a great place to take photos. There is a forest next to the beach. It is a camping site where you can rent tents and sleeping bags like in Ocean Park to camp here. Very good. #Koh Lipe #Thailand #Beach

🏖️Environment/Facilities: The team members this time were all lovely and impressive. They took us all on a journey, took the train, took the van, took the boat, and finally took the plane back to Bangkok. It was very impressive.

🏖️Environment/Facilities: 💞Recommended Reason: Andaman Sea, emerald water, clear reflection of fish and coral, tiger conch, sea urchin and sea cucumber, worth visiting, visit the sea of ​​Thailand.

#beachlife If you are on Koh Lipe, go to the nearby island of Koh Adang (200 baht return) once you reach the island do a trek that lasts about 1 hour until you reach View point 3, the highest point from where you can admire a splendid panorama and seeing the whole island of Koh Lipe from above as in the photographs I posted. I recommend suitable shoes. you must visit!

Koh Lipe in Thailand is beautiful enough, but what many people don’t know is that there is an island called Adang Island just opposite Koh Lipe that is still waiting to be married. It is also part of Tarutao National Marine Park. Although it is much larger than Koh Lipe, there are only two resorts on the island. It is a 15-minute boat ride from Koh Lipe. There are many options on the island, including jungle traversal, cliff-top viewing, coastal snorkeling, swimming and kayaking. There are also small animals such as monkeys and lizards crossing the resort. The natural environment is very good.
