Let's start our journey to Koh Kula...

Finally we are here!!! Koh Kula...It is so amazing and you can see through water to the bottom.

Paying for entrance fee and do not forget to follow the rules of national park

Mostly, tourists like to visit here in a half day trip or one day trip because it is very close to the main land. Mostly people come here for scuba diving and some are kayaking around the island. Moreover, you also can enjoy an amazing time at the beach.

The beach at the pier is also another place where you can enjoy!!!

Snorkelling we can rent snorkelling equipment from the national park and come to enjoy the coral reefs around the island which are so amazing.

Picnic under the coconut tree^^

Around 200 metres from the pier, there is another beach which is very quiet and peaceful.

There are also coral reefs and sea animals for you to see (unfortunately, we did not take the water proof camera with us so we did not have any photo of the under water world).

There are also bungalows for rental which operates by the national park

There are only 3 bungalows on the island, provide at the rate 1,200 THB/Bungalow/4-5 pax. Moreover, there is also a camping area provided (Electricity is available from 6.00pm. - 0.00am.). For anyone who stay on the island, there are food provided for both breakfast, lunch and dinner at 600 THB.

The best time for visiting is January - May

Kayaking around the island, Kayak is available for free.

It is a very peaceful place and very suitable for relaxing and recharging energy.

It is very easy to get there and we do not need that much time there only a half day is enough. Moreover, we can also visit on the other islands in Mo Koh Chumphon National Park which are not that far from each other.
