Koh Lon Island

Koh Lon is an island off the southeast coast of Phuket Island and is about 2.3 miles (3.7 km) long and 1.2 miles (1.9 km) wide. The island is a frequent destination spot for locals and tourists who can plainly see the large island just off the coast. Shuttles run back and forth frequently, so it’s something to do for a couple of hours if you have an adventurous spirit.

Though the east coast beaches on the coast of Phuket Island are typically muddy and without quality sand, some of the islands surrounding Phuket have nice white sand and little or no mud. The beaches on the island are Baan Mai, Cruiser, Poh, Lek, Y Deang, Bamboo, and Kwan.

Koh Lon Island Accommodations
  • Cruiser Island Resort

    Free kayaks and paddleboards, a swimming pool, great food that’s a bit pricier than the mainland. The rooms are large and there are sometimes problems with maintenance. Most guests by far recommend staying, and it is your only well-reviewed option on Ko Lon. Rooms are light and airy and slightly dated, but that shouldn’t bother you. Many places in Thailand are!

    Hotel and restaurant services were mentioned as great and the view was really nice. This is a chilled-out place to relax away from the craziness of Phuket Island and all the people during the high season.

    Some guests mentioned having access to a boat service that is much less expensive back and forth from Phuket to Ko Lon, you’ll probably want to inquire about that as most trips are around 1,500 THB each way if you have nobody else joining you on the trip.

    The rate is around 3,000 THB per night in the high season, which is pretty good for a place on the beach on an island away from the main island of Phuket.
