Koh Kradan to Koh Libong
Koh Libong, the largest among the Trang Islands in Thailand at 40 square kilometers, is a hidden gem that sees fewer visitors. This unspoiled local island doesn’t have a large tourism infrastructure or many hotels, making it a unique and tranquil escape. If you are traveling from Koh Kradan to Koh Libong, the distance is just 16 kilometers. You have a few options to get there: a shared speedboat, or a private longtail boat.
