"Fresher Experience"
Koh Payam, also known as Payam Island, is a hidden paradise that promises an escape into nature’s beauty. With over ten breathtaking sandy beaches scattered around the island, there’s always something new to explore. Remarkably, there are no cars or large buildings here, preserving the island's peaceful, untouched charm. This unique setting makes it the perfect place for those looking to unwind and reconnect with nature.
The local community on Koh Payam is known for its warm hospitality and welcoming spirit, treating every visitor as a special guest. While there are a few cozy beach bars to enjoy, the beaches themselves remain quiet and uncrowded. It’s a rare find – a place where you can stroll, swim, and soak up the serene surroundings without interruption.
"You have to visit Hippy Bar one for the whole time.." Yes, I mean that.
One of Koh Payam’s must-visit spots is the unique Hippy Bar, constructed entirely from driftwood salvaged from the sea by local craftsmen. Perched at the island’s prime sunset viewpoint, the bar offers an ideal setting to enjoy breathtaking views as the sun dips below the horizon. The bartenders here are known for their creativity, mixing some of the best cocktails on the island.
This holiday package includes a visit to the Hippy Bar, where you can soak in the relaxed atmosphere, savor a delicious cocktail, and experience one of Koh Payam’s most famous sunset spots – a favorite among European travelers who have enjoyed this island’s charm.
"Simple, but outstanding"
A remarkable highlight of Payam Island is the chapel of Payam Island Temple, uniquely situated in the sea and accessible only by crossing a long bridge from the mainland. The walk itself is an experience, offering stunning views of the surrounding sea on both sides and crystal-clear water below, which adds to the tranquil beauty of the journey.
Inside the chapel, you’ll find fascinating aspects of Buddhism that reflect the island’s cultural and spiritual heritage. This spot is not to be missed, offering both a serene environment and a deep connection to the local Buddhist traditions.
Strange Heart Rocks.
One of the island’s natural wonders is an unusual rock formation located where the beach meets the jungle. Shaped entirely by nature, this unique rock appears as three heart-like shapes intertwined within a single large stone. It’s a striking and rare sight, especially given its untouched setting.
In the afternoon, the scene becomes even more magical. The rock rests on soft, white sand as gentle waves of clear blue sea lap against it, while the lush jungle looms just beyond the beach. It's a rare, breathtaking sight that beautifully blends sea, sand, and greenery—an unforgettable scene of natural artistry.
Kayaking from beach to mangrove.
The kayaking route around Koh Payam begins at the serene Mae Mai Beach, where you set off paddling along the shoreline before entering a scenic nature canal. As you glide through the calm waters, you’re surrounded by lush mangrove forests on both sides, offering a peaceful escape into the island's green beauty. Along the way, you may even encounter some of the local wildlife that calls these mangroves home, making it an unforgettable adventure through nature.
"Slowly life on the island"
Koh Payam is blissfully free from cars, meaning no pollution from exhaust fumes and no traffic – just fresh, clean air all around. The absence of vehicles allows the island to maintain an unspoiled, natural atmosphere, enhancing its tranquil appeal.
For exploring the island, however, a few locally adapted "cars" are available. These unique vehicles are crafted from simple carriages equipped with basic engines, designed to provide a comfortable yet leisurely tour around Koh Payam. This “slow travel” approach lets you fully appreciate the island’s many sights, offering a clearer, more immersive experience as you journey through its captivating landscapes.
Kam Pun Kao (3 Islands)
This carefully curated trip takes you to three pristine, untouched islands in Ranong Province, each free from crowds, buildings, and traders, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in nature within just a day.
First, there’s Japanese Island, also known as Ko Pun. This hidden gem is covered by a dense, wild forest and boasts a single, untouched white sandy beach. Here, you’ll even find remnants of Japanese history, adding a unique layer of intrigue to the island’s natural beauty. Next, Bat Island, or Cao Island, awaits with its shallow coral reefs, offering an ideal spot for snorkeling and exploring vibrant marine life. Lastly, the trip brings you to Kao Island, often hailed as the most breathtaking of the three. This island features an unbelievably scenic landscape, creating an awe-inspiring backdrop to complete your journey through Ranong’s hidden paradises.
Coral Reef at the shallow.
On this exclusive trip, you’ll have the chance to explore vibrant shallow coral reefs, encountering a dazzling array of marine life, including soft and hard corals, delicate sea flowers, and playful clownfish. The crystal-clear waters invite you to swim freely and enjoy the serene underwater scenery, making it an unforgettable experience.
Designed as a private tour for just your group, this adventure offers something for everyone—adults, seniors, and children alike. Whether you’re a swimmer, a snorkeler, or simply want to relax and take in the surroundings, this fun and family-friendly trip promises a day of enjoyment for all ages.
