| Ko Kham,
the emerald island
in the Gulf of Thailand, is located
approximately 20–25 km kilometre southeast of
Bang Bao Bay at the southernmost end of Ko
Chang, just a few hundred metres
in front of the north-west coast of Ko
Mak - have a look at the map:

 |
| The private
island measures about 300 m from
north to south and 200 m from east to west. At the west
coast, mangroves, wild orchids and Thai herbs grow.
At the east coast, facing Ko
Maak, there are 2 small, beautiful,
sandy beaches
with a flat sandbank where you can – depending
to the water level – comfortably sit in the warm
crystal-clear sea.
The turquoise water with innumerable fish in front of
the flat beaches of
Ko Kham invites to swim and snorkel.

Ko
Kham is the only island
of the surroundings where a set of black volcano-rocks
is directly embed into the white
sandy beach. This and the beautiful
beaches, that are situated around
the beautiful garden, make Ko
Kham a popular spot for the tourist
boats coming from Ko
Chang.
On a small path at the southern beach you can reach
a small place where you can watch the beautiful
sunsets. |

Ko
Kham doesn’t have an own
spring, so water has to be delivered by boat from Ko
Maak. There is also no electricity
on the island
but the generator is started in the late afternoon.
Mobil connection to most of the Thai mobile nets is
guaranteed. Arrival to Ko
Kham and departure:
From November to May there are 2 daily Island-Hopper
boats (8 am and 12 pm - Island-Hopper)
starting from Baan Bang Bao (south of Ko
Chang) to Ko
Kham. The boats need about 2 -
2,5 hours to Ko Kham.
The return trip starts either about 10.30 am or about
2.30 pm. You can also take the boat from Koh
Kham Resort that starts from Laem
Ngop at the Laem Ngop pier (also called Khrom Luang
pier or Tha Khrom Luang) at 3 pm. It takes about 3 hours
to reach Ko Kham.
|
If you stay in a bungalow on Ko
Kham you also have the possibility
to get back to Laem Ngop at the mainland with the same
boat that starts at 8 am from Ko
Kham.
However, it may happen that the boats can’t go
when the waves are too high - what rarely happens during
the season. |
|
 |
If you don’t stay
in a bungalow on Ko
Kham you must pay 30 THB for visiting
the island.
There is only one bungalow
resort on Ko Kham which can be
booked here! |
