Koh Mook is one of the biggest islands of Trang Province and inhabited by about 300 Muslim families, who earn their living on fishing.
With the exception of a small sandy peninsula to the east, most of the island is mountainous. The only village, including a police station, a health centre, 2 schools and 2 mosques, occupies this area of flat land and borders two beaches, namely Ao Klang and Ao Huanon. The 2 resorts of Mook Island are on the neighbor beach Ao Makham , which is located to the north. In this area, the water is very shallow and the coral-covered coast fells dry during low tide.

Koh Hai (also known as Koh Ngai) is perfect. Tranquil fine white sand beaches, swishing coconut palms overhead, crystal-clear water with stunning coral formations and fish by the thousand make Koh Hai the ultimate in tropical island destinations. You won’t find any transport on this Thai island – there are no roads! A few paths connect some of the beaches, but the best way to get round Koh Ngai is by boat. If you want night-life and loud music, go to Phuket. Without mains electricity, Koh Hai is an oasis of peace and calm – a true escape from the rest of the world. It’s not quite a deserted island, but it’s close! Koh Hai has just a few quiet restaurants, serving local fare freshly plucked daily from the Andaman Sea.

Thirteen kilometers south of Koh Lanta, Koh Ngai is one of the Koh Lanta group of islands that comprise the Koh Lanta National Marine Park. A small, un-spoilt triangular island less than five square kilometers in size, Koh Hai has a forested jungle interior bordering white-sand beaches. The incredible coral formations encircle the entire island, making it a perfect destination for snorkeling.  There is limited accommodation on Koh Ngai, mostly clustered around the eastern coastline, with more remote resorts to the south. There is a variety of types of accommodation available, and a wide range of prices to choose from, but with so few places to choose from, Koh Hai is inevitably quiet and peaceful year-round. It’s probably best to try to book somewhere in advance if possible, just to be on the safe side.

Other islands in the area include Koh Chuek, Koh Waen, Koh Mah and Koh Mook, and you can arrange tours to these islands from the accommodation outlets on Koh Ngai.

This is the most southern beach on Koh Lanta. There is a waterfall in the area that can be reached by elephant trekking or hiking.
Koh Lanta National Park 
There are two beaches in the National Park; Had Hin Ngam (Beautiful Stone Beach) and Tanod Beach (Palm Beach). The road to here from Klong Hin beach becomes narrower and has some quite sudden dips and rises, and sometimes sharp curves. Around the area are trekking trails along which you can observe birds and wildlife. Here is where the lighthouse symbol of Koh Lanta is located. This marine park is at the southern tip of the island. The beaches are a great place for a picnic, just don’t forget to prepare your own food and drinks as there are no restaurant facilities.
