Ko Adang

Ko Adang (Thai: เกาะอาดัง, pronounced [kɔ̀ʔ ʔāːdāŋ]) is the second biggest island within Tarutao National Marine Park, in Thailand, very close to Ko Lipe island. The island is 6 km long and 5 km wide. The highest point on the island is 690 m.

Overview

Adang is surrounded by only few sandy beaches, but the offshore coral reef is abundant. The hilly interior is covered in dense jungle. There are two waterfalls on Ko Adang.[1]

Tourism

There are some mountain trails suitable for hiking through the jungle forest. View points along the way offer views over the nearby island of Ko Lipe and the sea panorama behind.

The island is very quiet and undeveloped, thanks to being part of Tarutao National Park. On the southern tip (closest to Ko Lipe) there are camping facilities, as well as bungalows, all belonging to the national park. There is also a ranger station. Long-tail boats can be hired to get to other sights on and around Ko Adang, including a black sand beach to the north of the island.

gollark: That sounds really inconvenient.
gollark: You still need to avoid being caught in infinite loops.
gollark: That's probably impractical.
gollark: ```For instance, say I want a wooden chest: I've got several solutions: - Use an existing chest- Craft a chest from existing planks - Craft planks and then craft a chest Now, normally I'd say the first is the best. But what happens if I've only got 1 dark oak chests, and I've got 1000 oak planks. Surely it'd be better to create a chest from the planks in this case, as it results in a more balanced system.```Mentioned by the people on the CC discord I asked.
