Ko Kham

Island Small island near Ko Chang with beaches

Ko Kham, near Trat province, is a small Thai island with coral shallows; visitors come for day trips to snorkel, sunbathe and sample seafood from nearby villages.

Ko Kham is a small island in Trat province, Thailand, located off the province’s eastern seaboard. It is known locally as a small coral-fringed island rather than a permanently inhabited settlement.

The island is valued for short visits to its beaches and nearshore snorkeling over coral and reef patches, often included on boat trips from nearby islands and coastal piers. Its compact size means stays are usually brief and focused on swimming and reef viewing.

Ko Kham is part of the broader island landscape of Trat province, which includes larger tourist islands and marine channels used for transport and day excursions. It has not been developed into a major resort and remains a small, mostly natural islet.

Geographically the island sits in the Gulf of Thailand within Trat province waters, north or east of larger islands in the district and accessible by small boat from nearby jetties on the mainland or neighboring islands.

Day-trip access: The island is commonly visited as a short day-trip by boat for snorkeling and beach time from nearby islands and the Trat mainland.

How to Get to Ko Kham #

Ko Kham is reached by boat from Trat province. Local resorts and pier operators run short transfers from Trat town or nearby islands; private longtail boats can also be chartered.

Because services are limited, arrange return transfers before landing and confirm times with operators.

Tips for Visiting Ko Kham #

Bring snorkeling gear - the shallow reefs around Ko Kham are accessible from small boats and are sheltered compared with open-sea sites.
Coordinate transfers with island bungalows or day-trip operators if not staying overnight - boats are not frequent outside peak season.
Respect any private-resort areas; parts of the island can be developed or reserved for guests.
