Koh Fan Yai & Koh Fan Noi

Choeng Mon islets

Two small islets at the east end of Choeng Mon Bay. You can kayak out to them, and the water around them has some coral for snorkelling.

Insider tips

  1. Go on a calm morning with no east wind for the clearest water. Bring your own snorkel gear and reef-safe sunscreen.

The story

Koh Fan Yai and Koh Fan Noi are two small islets just off the eastern end of Choeng Mon Beach. You can kayak out to them from the beach, and there is some coral around them for snorkelling. Most of Koh Fan Yai is taken up by a private resort, so visitors should stay on the shore below the high-tide line. When the wind blows from the east, the water gets choppy and visibility drops.
