This island is in the Trang archipelago. It is south of Ko Lanta. You may choose to get here from Pak Meng Pier, Trang province or Saladan of Ko Lanta, Krabi Province.
เกาะมุก-ถ้ำมรกต
Ko Muk is mostly occupied by sea-facing towering cliffs to the west. On the east side of the island is a village of fishers who have still maintained their ways of life as islanders. On the island to the west is Tham Morakot, a sea cave. With light from the outside, emerald water can be seen inside the cave.
This massive and cavernous building calls itself a "5-Star Backpacker" hotel. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable.
Basic rooms with fan, windows or not, shared bathroom. The woman who owns the guesthouse speaks fluent English and she's very kind and helpful. Wi-Fi available. Travel agency also, and laundry service.
Cosy and comfortable dorm and private rooms with free Wi-Fi available throughout the property. All rooms are fitted with air conditioning. Only 8 minutes from the train station and 3 minutes from the local fresh market.
Not especially cheap, and the rooms are not the best. One thing in its favor is the 24 hour fast Internet access (30 baht per hour). There is Wi-Fi, A/C, TV in general. Guests can pay with cash, mobile banking or credit card with no extra charge.
The rooms are clean and modern, and wireless Internet is free of charge. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
