Visit Koh Sukorn Viewpoint (Koh Sukorn)
Presentation Koh Sukorn Viewpoint
Located atop a hill in the north of the island, this viewpoint offers a pretty, if not exceptional, but interesting view of the sea, with a small sandbar occasionally protruding from the water. For me, it should be included in an island tour by tuk-tuk (or by bicycle, though it's a bit more strenuous, even if the road leading up isn't that steep; I've done it).
Note that there's the option of climbing a little higher up the mountainside opposite Koh Sukorn Viewpoint on the other side of the road. It's a bit of a climb, but not very difficult, and the view is even better!
You might think it's a nice spot to watch the sunset, but personally, I prefer Ban Tha Laem Pier for seeing twilight. Especially since afterwards you can walk along Watermelon Beach and Ban Thung Beach.
Guide to visit Koh Sukorn Viewpoint
Koh Sukorn Viewpoint is a bit isolated, far from any houses, I advise against going there at night, especially by bicycle.
How to get to Koh Sukorn Viewpoint ?
To get to Koh Sukorn Viewpoint, the best option is to hire a tuk-tuk and include it in an island tour. Many tuk-tuks offer this service. The tour usually lasts 3 hours and is very inexpensive. Alternatively, if you're feeling energetic, you can also rent bicycles, but be aware that this part of the island is isolated and sparsely populated, so avoid going there in the evening to prevent getting stuck on the road at night.
