🌿 Uncover Koh Phai: Pattaya’s Remote Island Escape
Koh Phai, also known as Bamboo Island, is the largest of the Mu Ko Phai archipelago located roughly 21 kilometers off the coast of Pattaya. Protected by the Royal Thai Navy, this uninhabited island is a sanctuary of rugged cliffs, lush greenery, and untouched beaches. With no permanent structures or tourist crowds, Koh Phai offers a rare opportunity to experience Thailand’s natural beauty in its purest form — a tranquil retreat where the rhythm of the waves sets the pace.
Beneath the surface lies a diver’s dream: Koh Phai is home to the famous HTMS Khram shipwreck, an artificial reef teeming with marine life. The surrounding coral reefs are vibrant and well-preserved, making it a hotspot for scuba diving and snorkeling. The island’s rocky shoreline and elevated lighthouse add dramatic flair to its landscape, while shallow bays provide safe entry points for swimming and exploration.
Accessible only by private charter or speedboat, Koh Phai is ideal for day trips, eco-tours, and underwater adventures. Whether you’re diving into history at the wreck site or lounging on a deserted beach, Koh Phai delivers a surreal escape — a hidden gem waiting to be discovered just beyond Pattaya’s horizon.
