KohWai The Paradise Island in Thailand

The Koh Chang group of islands makes for an exciting getaway from your everyday worries and the busy streets of Bangkok! The best secret in those group of Islands is Koh Wai because of its low tourist load which helps to keep the island more natural. I hope this island will continue to attract those who love nature and photography and not turn into something more commercial.

Evey one needs to get away now and then and I have just the place to escape to. If you like solitude and relaxing sounds of the ocean while you contemplate your next activity for the day then Koh Wai is for you. Sometimes its difficult to choose between relaxing in a hammock on the beach or sampling some mouth watering Thai cuisine.

One of my favorite foods and the first food that many visitors to Thailand first try is something called Pad Thai. This delightful food is prepared with eggs noodles tofu and sometimes beef or chicken and some vegetables. The next time you find yourself relaxing on the beach in Thailand around Koh Wai or Koh Chang why not try this dish.

Koh Wai Island is a great exotic destination for you and your family. The kids will love the family friendly environment and the relaxed and educational surroundings. You and your family will have hours of fun exploring the surrounding coral reef teaming with life. Feed the fish from the pier and you will be amazed to see the waters come to life with underwater dwellers that make Koh Wai home.

Paradise in Thailand is something easy to achieve when you spend your time at one of the resorts on Koh Wai island. Paradise consists of a relaxing day filled with breath taking scenery and delicious food and drink. In paradise we don't look at the time and we leave the cares of the business world behind. Life is simple and your main concern should be when do I feel like eating something tasty.

You can find many interesting things on Koh Wai island ranging from exotic flowers on down to friendly Thai beach dogs. Koh Wai Island is covered with lush vegetation that makes you feel alive. Banana, Coconut and Mango trees can be found around the island. Island dogs tend to be friendly and will often escort you on a trail on the island. I recommend a nice piece of food for any kind island dogs who makes your acquaintance. The people are friendly and most of the beach lovers tend to be nature lovers with family's who want to enjoy nature away from the large crowded tourist areas.

Planning a holiday at Koh Wai paradise Island involves a little bit of preparation to make sure you have the best experience on the island. Make sure you place your passport and any valuable papers inside a waterproof envelope. Sometimes on a boat you may get lightly misted by the ocean. While Kayaking around the island you might consider placing your passport into a zip-lock back and putting it in a passport holder around your neck.

Snorkeling is an activity that should not be neglected unless you want to miss a chance to see some of the greatest coral and underwater life around Koh Wai. If your fortunate enough to have a camera that is made for underwater photography then you will capture some moments that can be cherished for a lifetime. The water is great and often you will find it to be very calm which makes for some awe inspiring views of exotic fish in their natural environment.

Photographers will fall in love with Koh Wai island once they realize all the great photo opportunities Koh Wai has to offer. From flowers to coconut trees you will never grow tired of the magnificent scenery Koh Wai has to offer. I am personally fond of night photography and The resorts provide some unique opportunities at night when they turn the lights on at night and you capture a photo of a resort with the lights glistening in the ocean. Its also fun to bring colored flash lites or different colored lenses for your camera to capture more colors with your camera.

You have many options to you once you arrive on the island and I will discuss some of my favorites. You can really work up an appetite relaxing on the beach and Kayaking around the island. One remedy to cure your rumbling stomach is to partake in a age old tradition which I like to refer to as food hopping. You start off eating at the resort your staying at and when the next hunger attack hit you its time to begin your quest.

Once in Bangkok you will need to travel to Trat which is about a five to six hour drive, and many tour buses travel to that destination. Koh Wai, which is an island to the south of Koh Chang in Thailand is situated about forty five minutes on a speed boat or a little over two hours on a regular boat from Trat. If the waves are choppy I recommend staying away from the speed boat unless you don't mind getting bounced around a little. The slower boat also gives you a chance to take video and enjoy a nice nap on the way to your paradise destination.

Koh Wai island is one of Thailand's great treasures with clear waters and stunning beaches that attract visitors from all over the world. Located on this paradise island are Four different resorts all with accommodations that allow you to interact with the true beauty of nature and the environment. Many visitors are often surprised when they discover the water is so still that you don't need snorkeling gear to view the fish under the ocean. Walking out on one of the resort piers you can see the ocean floor through the clear water which is teaming with exotic fish and assorted ocean life.
