Koh Hae

Coral Island

(Koh Hae)

Chalong is the main centre of water activities in Phuket and is conveniently close by nearby islands where many people enjoy taking day trips to. One of these is Koh Hae (aka Coral Island) about four kilometres southeast of Phuket. This lovely island is home to many hard corals (i.e. brain, boulder and table corals) and a rocky sea bed. It is a good spot to view many interesting types of tropical marine life such as parrot fish, groupers and butterfly fish. Koh Hae is quite small, only 800 metres from north to south, and about three kilometres from east to west. The island’s two beautiful white sandy beaches are ideal to relax on after swimming and snorkeling. (Read more about Coral Island Tour by Speedboat and about Coral Island Resort...)
