Must-sees & Must-Dos in Koh Sukorn?

What to do and see in Koh Sukorn

There are no monuments to visit in Koh Sukorn as such — the entire island is what you explore and discover. For example, you can hire a *saleng*, the local tuk-tuks, for a tour of the island lasting 2.5 to 3 hours, which is very enjoyable (400 THB, last price observed in December 2025). Koh Sukorn is also pleasant to explore by bicycle and it’s not very physically demanding. There are few climbs, except for the one leading to the viewpoint. This way, you can discover the rice fields, which are particularly beautiful before the harvest (this varies depending on the year, but rice cultivation generally takes place from July, when the shoots are transplanted into the paddies, to December, when the rice is harvested), as well as buffaloes, watermelon and rubber plantations, beaches, and more.

You can also arrange boat trips with your hotel to visit the neighboring islands of Koh Lao Liang or Koh Takieng, which have prettier beaches than the black or brown sand beaches of Koh Sukorn and offer turquoise waters.

Must-visit places in Koh Sukorn

It is the true peculiarity and richness of the island: its local agricultural life which reminds me of Isan, the most rural region in Thailand. Cycling around by bike when the rice plants are emerald green, crossing buffalos is truly amazing. We are on an island and in an agricultural land. This is all the charm of Ko Sukorn !

Koh Lao Liang island

Koh Kao Liang is just opposite to Koh Sukorn. Small wild rocky island, it has a more charming beach than the ones in Koh Sukorn. You can spend the night there in the tents of its unique resort. Usually people rent a longtail boat for the day to go to Koh Lao Liang and often also add Koh Phetra and possibly Koh Takieng to the program.

Although its name suggests that it is THE viewpoint not to be missed on the island, it is certainly interesting and worth including in a tour of Koh Sukorn Island, but personally, I prefer to admire the views from the beaches on the east side of the island.

Ban Tha Laem Pier

My opinion :

This pier at the southern tip of Ko Sukorn Island offers a beautiful view of the beach and sea. Even though the view is rarely directly opposite, the sunset is worthwhile. It should definitely be included in an island tour (more so than the Viewpoint, in my opinion).

Watermelon Beach

หาดแตงโม
My opinion :
starstarstarstarstar
This is the most famous beach on Koh Sukorn, an island renowned... for its watermelons! People don't go there for the beauty of the beach itself, but rather for the watermelon fields that line it. It's unusual and, I believe, unique in Thailand.
