Location & what to see
Koh Phayam is an island off the coast of Ranong province in southern Thailand, with no road bridge to the mainland, so the last part of the journey is made by boat. Tropical Hostel is a short walk from Ao Yai Beach, the nearest beach to the hostel, and the island's shoreline is made up of several bays and small villages, including Ao Ko Kyu, 1.8 km away.
Ao Yai Beach is 450 m from the hostel, making it the closest stretch of sand, and the Hin Talu viewpoint is 2.7 km away. Koh Phayam Pier, the island's ferry terminal where the boats from the mainland arrive, is 3.5 km from the hostel, and the Bot Klang Thale pagoda is 3.8 km away.
A day here might start with a swim at Ao Yai Beach, followed by a walk or a bicycle ride to the Hin Talu viewpoint, since bicycles are offered at the hostel. Snorkelling and fishing are also possible, and the game room with its table tennis table makes a good break in the middle of the day. Afterwards, the hostel's garden is a quiet place to finish the day, and restaurants are on site for dinner, so there is no need to go far.
