Take in breathtaking 360° views of lush

#cityplaybook How to Get There Reaching the viewpoint requires a bit of effort, but it’s part of the adventure. You can get to Koh Phaluai by boat from Don Sak Pier in Surat Thani or from Koh Samui. Once on the island, you can rent a scooter or hire a local guide to take you through narrow dirt roads and up scenic trails leading to the viewpoint. The path is moderately challenging, so comfortable footwear and water are recommended. Why It’s Special Unlike more commercialized islands, Koh Phaluai remains largely untouched by mass tourism. The island is home to a small community of sea gypsies (Chao Leh) who live in harmony with nature. This authenticity is what makes the viewpoint so memorable — you're not just witnessing natural beauty, but also a way of life that’s deeply connected to the land and sea. #kohpaluai
