Ko Kradan เกาะกระดาน (GPS: 7.31036, 99.2546) is a beautiful holiday island in the Trang archipelago in Southern Thailand. The elongated island covers an area of 2.4 square kilometers. It has a beautiful stretch of white sandy beach on its eastern coast facing the Trang mainland. On this stretch are a few resorts including the Seven Seas Resort Ko Kradan and Kradan Island Resort.

Ko Kradan became famous as the site where underwater weddings. The first "Trang Underwater Wedding" was conducted there in 1996 after it received approval from the then Governor of Trang, Khun Yongyudh Vichaidit, and the then President of the Trang Chamber of Commerce, Khun Surin Tohtubtiang. It became an annual affair, and in 2000, it was inscribed into the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest underwater wedding ceremony ever conducted. Since then, even handicapped couples have taken their vows underwater at Ko Kradan

Ko Kradan is renowned for the crystal clear waters off its coast. Beyond the sandy bottom are some coral reefs. As such, the island is a popular snorkelling destination, with boatloads of tourist visiting it daily.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
