My Visit to Ko Ngai

I visited Ko Ngai on 11 May, 2014, with my wife and colleagues on a company trip. We arrived there from Pak Meng Beach. On the journey to Ko Ngai, we stopped over to visit the Emerald Sea Cave on Ko Muk, then went swimming at Ko Kradan and Ko Chueak before finally arriving at Ko Ngai. There, we spent a night at the Koh Hai Fantasy Resort. I was curious about the name "Koh Hai", until later when I learned that it is simply another transliteration of เกาะไหง.

Ko Ngai was gorgeous on our arrival. We were lucky to arrive with blue skies above us. However it was a very hot day, but picture perfect, with the beach lined with coconut palms. There are individual as well as semi-detached chalets at Ko Ngai. They line the beach front and continues on a gradient up the hill slope. I had one of the semi-detached chalets on the hill. From there, I can get a nice view of the Andaman Sea below.

There is nothing much to do at Ko Ngai in the evening, so it is more for travelers looking for peaceful respite - those seeking vibrant nightlife would find the place rather dull. Nevertheless the resort suits me just fine. I like strolling along the beach as the sun sets, and sitting on the deckchairs watching the islets of the Trang coast at dusk.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
