KO PAYAM

THE PASSAGE FROM RANONG TO PAYAM |
|
|
Getting there: The speed boat leaves from Ranong (Sapanpla Pier) daily at 9:00 and 14:00 o'clock. The trip takes about one hours to Ko Payam.
If you come with a bike you need to take the bigger boat which leaves at 9:30 am and 4 p.m. I had to pay 350 Baht incl. my bike (200 Baht) Scooter 100 Baht.

In the rainy season May to November, the boat connections unreliable.
To get to Ranong take the intercity bus from Bangkok in about 9 hours by road, passing Chumphon. From Chumpon there are minibuses in 2 hours from Ranong and from Suratthani about 3 1/2 h.
I visited Ko Payam this April (2010) see pictures (below). Not much to say to explain my feelings there, kind of overwhelming due to the Goa feeling and the 20 years back flash on my first arrival in Tong Nai Pan Yai on Ko Phangan, from Samui about 20 years ago!
But some remarkable different now, you find solar panels everywhere, bio food, spa even yoga classes are available. Hornbill's and Monkey's when going in the jungle. Sweet small concrete street's, a lot of dirt and sand way's

INFO to (KO PAYAM)
Ko Chang and Ko Payam are the northernmost islands of Thailand on the west coast of the Andaman Sea near the border with Myanmar. They are small but fine and still unknown. The nearly 600 residents live from cashew-nut cultivation and some rubber. There are only a small Sea-Gypsee village on Ko Payam with a small shop, no cars and roads and no nightlife (except some nice party's ;-). A few trails lead from coast to coast and invite to discover the island on foot. The moped is fast in every place. Otherwise is called and known for, the soul of the beautiful long sandy beaches to dangle, to snorkel or dive. A lot of Hornbill birds can be seen in the early morning on some big tree's.
The beach is beautiful white sand beach situated in the west of Ao Yai. There is also the most simple Resorts. In the north around the island is small 70qkm buffalo Bay (Ao Khao Kwai), which at low tide the water is completely missing. In addition, around the island and other small isolated sandy coves.
Ko Chang is not quite as beautiful as co Payam, but much more natural and with a small and FROM DENS JUNGLE COVERED 370m high mountain equipped. There are several beaches around the island, but not so beautifully white ;-)
