Koh Sukorn
เกาะสุกร
An unspoiled, Muslim-farmed island with rice paddies, watermelon fields and water buffalo, best explored by bicycle for a slow-paced experience.
Koh Sukorn lies off the southern coast of Trang. Most islanders are Muslim, and they make a living from growing rice and watermelon and from fishing. There are no island-hopping crowds. You can rent a bicycle or motorbike to ride around the island, passing rice paddies, rubber plantations and villages, and watch the sunset from the west coast beach. A few simple guesthouses on the island suit a stay of one or two nights to experience local life. The boat from Pale Pier takes about 15 minutes. Transportation is disrupted during the rainy season. The islanders are fairly conservative, so dress modestly when entering the village.
