Ko Wai

Ko Wai is a small island in Trat province in the Gulf of Thailand, associated with the Mu Ko Chang archipelago and known for quiet beaches and nearshore snorkeling.

Visitors typically come for short beach stays, snorkeling on nearby reefs and simple island accommodation; boat transfers link Ko Wai with larger neighbouring islands such as Ko Chang and Ko Mak. The island is compact and usually explored on foot or by short walks between beaches and bungalows.

Like many islands in the Trat region, Ko Wai was traditionally used by local fishing communities and later developed modest tourism facilities as boat services between the islands increased.

Ko Wai sits in the northeastern part of the Gulf of Thailand within Trat province and is reached by boat from mainland piers serving the Mu Ko Chang group.

• Island group and access: Part of the Mu Ko Chang group of islands and commonly visited on day trips from nearby islands such as Ko Chang and Ko Mak.
• Marine life: Reefs and shallow bays around the island are used for snorkeling and short boat excursions.
