- Koh Muk (Koh Mook) is a small island paradise in the Andaman Sea. The island is underdeveloped and less visited by tourists. Koh Muk is known for its amazing Emerald Cave, secluded beaches, and stunning wildlife. Koh Mook is mostly inhabited by Muslim sea gypsies who have preserved their island and traditional way of life. The island is part of the gorgeous Trang Islands: Koh Kradan, Koh Ngai, and Koh Libong.
This video is a detailed travel guide of Koh Muk Island in Thailand. It shares with viewers the most beautiful beaches and places to see around Koh Muk. This beautiful Thai island surprised us with the beauty of its nature and marine life. This video will help you discover the island and organize your trip.

During the pandemic, my partner and I were stranded in Thailand for a year and a half! What started as a Covid nightmare soon became an incredible opportunity to travel Thailand from top to bottom.
We felt so lucky and grateful for this fantastic opportunity and decided to make a film to share our good fortune with you. The idea of this documentary is to transport you to all the best places in Thailand while sharing with you our 18-month adventure. 🌴🥥☀️
This is my first feature film. If you decide to see it, I would love to hear from you. 🙏😊

Thailand is a paradise on earth and a second home for visvisitors😊🙆
Very good! Thanks for not making it another tourist-selfie video!
Your video is excellent, unlike few others' video only show food and prices......yours video show many wild life by the beach during low tide.
Well done....
I was in koh Muk recently also
Thanks so much for the lovely comment.❤
I hope you had a great time on Kuh Muk!
❤ awesome place
Very nice video Thank you ❤❤
Helpful video - none of the viewer's time was wasted, all stuff that's good to know. Thank you.
Thank you, Angela! ❤
I absolutely love all videos this channel produces! Thank you❤
Wow! What a kind comment. Thank you, Paula! ❤
thank you for this detailed review >>
Great video guys! As a local expat resident, I think you did a great job of showcasing the island. It is a pity about the weather that day but its best from December to May as a rule for any travelers wanting to visit. All are welcome!
Thanks for the kind comment! ❤
You are right, when the sun shines, the island is radiant, and the color of the water is so beautiful. It's too bad it rained on us all week. Koh Muk is gorgeous even in the bad weather. ❤
Super!
Such a nice video. Perhaps one of the best I’ve ever seen. Very informative and has nice, positive vibe. It is the first I’ve seen of your production - will be interesting to see the rest. Keep up the great work ❤
Wow. What a kind message! Thank you for your encouragement! It means a lot. ❤
Love to see you are back in town. We enjoy your editing en voiceover so much. Been to Koh Muk in 2016 at Koh Mook Sivalai Beach Resort when the waterpillars where not yet there at the tip . The sand is so crispy and white. Although its a beautifull island when making a trip on the bike we saw some nasty pollution also.
Hi Cornelis, thanks for your kind comment and support! ♥
It must be nice staying at the Silvalai Beach Resort.☀
I saw another beautiful place in your videos: a hotel you stayed at in Chiang Mai. Really nice! ☺
❤️❤️❤️ Fauna on the beach amazed me really!
Thanks, Kalin! I was blown away. There's so much going on on this beach, so many starfish, birds, and crabs. Awesomeness!
Thanks for watching the video and thanks for your support! ❤
@@TravelRoads Also Emerald cave and lagune is magical. :)
@@TravelRoads Do you have plans to visit Philippines this summer (March-May)?
We have visited the Emerald Cave and it was a great experience. Tok a tour from Kho Lanta. Greetings from Sweden
I will be in Sweden in a couple of days. 😍
Cannot wait.
When i was there we just spent all day at charlie beach
Love the great info and the fact that you visited somewhere that I did not know about. Looks like wonderful alternative that we might check out on our drive around the World. Subed to follow along. We are a father and son who are traveling the world to inspire people to travel for culture and nature. Have a wonderful 2023. - Turtle
Bear, Turtle, hello!! What a fantastic channel you have! Wow! I love your energy and your aim for "responsible travel". Looks like you've been to neighboring Greece this summer. Any plans to visit Bulgaria soon?
Good luck with your dream to visit 100 countries by car in 3 years! Yeah!!!
Thai vlogger have said ; Trang people eat 9 times a day!!..enjoy explporing Thailand and stay safe , by the way love your voice and the filming style in this travel vid(so gorgeous!)..keep going and
growing..
Thank you for the kind comment, Jirarat! It's much appreciated. ❤ And thanks for your support!
Amazing Video. Thanks s lot for the cave info as well. Is it required to have a drone permit to fly over Koh Mook?
You need a drone permit to use your drone in Thailand. You can get the permit in Bangkok - you simply fill in some paperwork and pay a small fee. No one ever checked us, but by law, you need one.
hello and thank you for the lovely tour of Koh Muk. New subscriber here. Can you recommend a snorkeling and Emerald Cave tour guide? We'll be on Koh Mok in mid February. Thank you so much for your help!
Hello! Thanks for your kind comment and subscription! ❤
I did not keep the contact details of our boat captain. We simply asked around town and were introduced to him. There are a few tour agencies on the main street. Anyone there will be able to help you.
If you prefer speaking with someone before you get to Koh Muk, you can try contacting Soon for advice. Soon lives on Koh Muk, owns a small bar, and knows everyone:
facebook.com/profile.php?id=100035485043484
In general, do not worry about booking your snorkeling trip in advance. When you arrive on the island you will be able to line up someone to take you on a tour the next day or that same afternoon.
People are very organized in Thailand. You can rent a private tour or a shared boat depending on if other tourists have expressed interest in going out for the day.
Super excited about your trip! Enjoy Thailand and Koh Mook!😍
(+ if you have time, make sure to check out the nearby Koh Kradan. One of my favorite islands!⭐)
Sometime next week, I will post a video that compares 20+ Thai islands.. maybe some good information in there for your trip.
PS- Your TH-cam name is super sweet 😍
@@TravelRoads Thanks for the information about Koh Muk. I'm sure I'll find a guide to give me a tour. I just like to have recommendations when I can. My husband and I have been to Thailand five times, but this is our first time island hopping in the south of Thailand. We'll be there five weeks so hopefully can see what we want. And, yes, Koh Kraden is on the itinerary. Thanks again and looking forward to your next video!
Hi,
thanks for your videos. I have to admit that these are the best videos I've ever seen! A lot of shots of information, really cool.
I would like to ask one thing. We will go to Koh Muuk by boat, but then we would like to go to the Khuan Tung Ku Pier and then to Trang. Do you think there is any connection between the pier and Trang town? How did you get there?
Thanks for your kind comment, Nikola. ☺
The journey from Koh Muk to Khuan Tung Ku Pier and Trang is very easy. Just ask any of the tour agencies on Koh Muk to help you with the boat schedule. There are several options. You can catch a super cheap local boat to Khuan Tung Ku Pier, then take a shared minivan to Trang. Or you can catch a speedboat or a private longtail boat to Khuan Tung Ku Pier, then catch a cab or a shared minivan to Trang. Many locals commute daily and there are plenty of minivans and cabs you can take from Khuan Tung Ku Pier to Trang town. Tour agencies on Kho Muk will typically sell you a combined ticket (boat + minivan) all the way to Trang.
If you are in Trang Town going to Khuan Tung Ku Pier and Koh Muk, just walk to Trang’s train station. In the little plaza across from the train station, there are many tour agencies that will sell you a combined ticket: minivan + boat to Koh Muk.
Even if you do not find information online, do not worry. There are several departures a day to and from Koh MukTrang and you will find a way to get there.
Happy holidays! ❤
Btw, if you're interested in seeing all of Thailand's best places, have a look at my documentary on Vimeo:
🎬twoducklingproductions.vhx.tv
I highlight 20 islands and the main cities in the North of the country. The film is more a story, not a travel guide, but it will give you an overall view of the best sites in Thailand.
Another travel option from Bangkok to Trang is by train. There is an overnight express train with First Class and Second Class sleeping cars run by the State Railway of Thailand (SRT). The Express Train No. 83 (Bangkok - Trang) departs daily from Bangkok's new central station at Bang Sue at 5:30 pm. and arrives at Trang station in Trang city at 8:50 am. the next day. Then you can arrange for transportation to the dock to catch a ferry to Ko Muk.
Thanks, Khun Parinand, for taking the time to add this information! Very kind of you and very helpful! ❤
Hi! Nice video as always. We are currently on a holiday through thailand and previously enjoyed your video about Koh Mak, which we already visited. Tomorrow we are heading to Koh Mook, so this video came at the right moment 😉 even more coincedence is that we are staying at Rinna resort. So we will say hi from you to the host!
May I ask, are you planning more of these video's? We highly enjoyed Koh Kood on our trip. Would be worth to check-out if you havent already.
Hi Rowan! Wow! Thanks so much for reaching out. I’m so excited that you are going to Koh Mook and staying at Rinna resort! I hope Khun Tawan is still there and I hope she remembers Mike and I. ☺ Please tell her that I included her in my feature-length documentary about Thailand! The movie received an award in Germany and people got to see Koh Mook and Rinna resort on the big screen (the movie is available here: twoducklingproductions.vhx.tv).
Thanks so much for watching this video and thanks for your kind words.
I’m so glad you guys went to Koh Kood. It’s my favorite island in all of Thailand! I’ve been torn if I should put a video up or not. It would be terrible if mass tourism destroys the island. But then again, my channel is so small, nobody will probably see it. 😆
My idea is to upload an individual video on each Thai island, but for the sake of speed, I am currently working on a video that shows and compares over 20+ Thai islands. This will probably be ready in a week or two.
From Koh Mook, please make sure to go see Koh Kradan. That’s my second favorite island :)
Thanks again for your message. As you can see am I very excited about your trip. Keep me in the loop if you have time. And enjoy Koh Mook! It’s an awesome place.
@@TravelRoads thank you! We will keep you updated. Looking forward to your video comparing all the islands! Guess what, we are going to Koh Kradan after Koh Mook 😉 your video's were a huge inspiration when booking our full thailand trip to the islands near trat and trang.
@@TravelRoads Hi! Little update. We are back from Thailand and an amazing time in both Koh Mook and Koh Kradan. Our stay at Rinna Resort was wodnerful, unfortunately Khun Tawan is no longer working there. The staff who was working there now told us she went back to the mainland. From our impression it seemed like she was not returning. We showed your video but they didn't seem to care about or understand the shoutout you and mike did too much.. sorry for that but it's the honest story ;).
By the way, your video captured Koh Mook very well. We even saw a wild Dugong feeding on the grass near the pier! Did you only have cloudy weather when staying in Koh Mook?
Hi @@rowan6383,
Thanks so much for the update! Wow! 😊
I am so jealous of your wild dugong! 😍So lucky you guys! Well done! 🙌😃We looked for dugongs everywhere (all the way to Koh Libong!) without any success.
Too bad Khun Tawan is no longer there. She's a friend of the owner of Rinna Resort. He had taken her in when she was left without other family. I hope she is doing well on the mainland. I’m glad to hear that even without Tawan, Rinna resort was still a good place to stay at. Thanks so much for showing them the video, even if they did not care much about it. Super kind of you! ❤
Mike and I were on Koh Mook for a good 5-6 days. It rained most of the time and the weather was gloomy. We were there towards the end of the rainy season, so we expected the clouds.
Thanks again for your update! So fun to hear about your trip. ❤😍
hi ! i was in koh mak twice ...do you recommed koh mook now?? koh mak is little maybe koh mook is bigger?
Hi! I wanted to know how is the return from ko mook to trang in longtail please, there is a good frequency of longtail? Thank you! :)
Hi Ed, Koh Mook is a fishing village and most people own a longtail boat. When fishermen are not at sea they rent their services to tourists. There's no problem finding a longtail boat to bring you to the pier. There are travel agencies on Koh Mook you can ask to help you find a private longtail boat to land. You will have to negotiate the price. There are also shared longtail boat departures- ask the travel agency for the schedule. I have traveled from Koh Mook to Koh Ngai by longtail boat. The ride was ok.
2:20 you report the map for the speedboat but not the pier location for the local ferry boat at 2USD. Where do we take this old fashion boat ?
Edit: never mind, I checked it, same pier as you reported, Khuan Tung Ku, once daily at 1pm.
Yes: Khuan Tung Ku Pier.
Hello. Bit of a long question but hopefully you can help me. We will be in koh lipe and will have to travel back to Krabi airport for a flight. We will have about 8 days to make this journey and hoped to stop at ngai, kradan and muk. Do you think it's possible / affordable / worthwhile trying to do them all? Or would you only do 2 of them? And would you say its better to go to the mainland from muk then to the airport by road? Or ferry back to Ao Nang then to the airport from there? Any and all advice would be massively appreciated, thank you 🙏
Hi Sam,
Possible: yes! You have enough time to see all 3 islands in 8 days.
Affordable: I don’t know. You need to research your hotel choices and run the numbers. Koh Kradan and Koh Ngai are expensive islands.
Here are my thoughts: try to do at least Koh Muk and Koh Kradan.
If you need to skip one island: skip Koh Ngai.
You could set base on Koh Muk and do day tours to Koh Kradan and Koh Ngai.
Koh Kradan is worth spending a couple of nights. The color of the water is amazing, and the island is quiet after the daily tours leave sometimes in the afternoon.
I have only transferred by land from Koh Muk to Krabi. During covid most of the speedboats were shut down. I’m sorry, I cannot advise you on this. Getting from Koh Muk to the mainland is fast. There’s a direct bus from Trang to Krabi airport. It takes about 2.5 hours. The public buses are cheap.
I hope this helps!
Have an amazing time in Thailand!!
Ps- You can find an individual (detailed) video on each of those 4 islands on my channel (Koh Kradan, Koh Ngai, Koh Lipe, Koh Muk)
@@TravelRoads you're a legend. Thanks for this, really appreciated. I've already watched the vids! 😂. Priceless info thank you. Keep up the good work. Only recently discovered the channel but will be watching from now on 👌♥️
@@stezzyg11 Thanks for your encouragement and support! It means a lot. 🥰
Hello, I'd like to visit koh mook in february but I'm reading that sivalai beach, which seems to be the nicest beach on the island is not suitable for swimming and there are lot of sandflies?
Hi Angelo, Sivalai Beach is gorgeous but not the best for swimming as the beach is shallow at low tide. You can get in the water at high tide, but there are some small waves crashing at the point. You can avoid the sandflies by using coconut oil and making your skin slippery for the tiny beasts. Koh Muk is lesser known and worth seeing, but not the best island for swimming. If you want to swim in amazing water, visit the nearby Koh Kradan.
@@TravelRoads Hi! Thanks for your reply, in fact I will go to kradan and I was looking for another Island to visit and stay 2-3 days. I don't want to come back to phi phi or lipe because I've already visited them.
Koh Muk and Koh Ngai are your best options near Koh Kradan.
If you prefer swimming/snorkeling, you could also look at Koh Lanta.
do you have any idea if we go to the pier by car , where we can park our car safely ?
I'm not sure about parking at the pier. Seems like there was a parking lot there, but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe ask a local Trang tour agency? I'm sure they will tell you.
You can safely park your car in Trang City and buy a combined ticket (bus to the pier + boat). It's not very expensive.
@@TravelRoads ohh wow , do you know the bus fare range is ?
@@IrisYeoh Please google online the current pricing. We took a shared minivan and the local ferry (not the tourist speedboat)- the price we paid was (maybe) around ~300thb. Google a Trang tourist agency and ask them.
Here's an agency you can ask for advice:

@@TravelRoads hi thanks a lot on the information , by the way from this pier that you hop on the boat , can reach koh Kradan island too ?
You can. But you will have to catch a different boat.
You are the only female travel blogger i know who is not including shots of her long hair and floaty little skirts in the wind😂. And i am thankful for that 😅
😂😅😆
Thanks for your comment, Shiva. And thanks for watching this video. ❤
Let me know how your trip went when you come back from Thailand. 🌴☀
I’d like my videos to be about the destination rather than about me.
But there's something to be said about all the "Instagram people”. Must be tough traveling with outfits. ☺😅
Thats not a white throated king fisher
Do I have it wrong? What it is then? 🤔☺
@@TravelRoads different type of King fisher.
@@peanuts8677 You might be right... Looks like it's a Collared Kingfisher. My bad.
