An hour boat ride from the tourist-heavy Koh Chang is this amazing tiny little island. Here you will find the postcard beach scene you have always had in your head when you have sat at your work desk and dreamed of your own tropical paradise - white sand, emerald and turquoise water, green jungle and bright blue sky. The best thing? Once the (small number) of daytrippers leave the island the crystal clear water is pretty much yours alone to explore. The only shame is that with snorkel masks you can't open your mouth to say "wow". For somebody who has always wanted to have a go at snorkelling and pretend they are in a David Attenborough documentary it doesn't get any more perfect. A word of warning though - your blood pressure may drop dangerously low.
In the middle of the Gulf of Thailand, off Koh Chang. Boats leave Koh Chang daily and there are rustic beachfront huts on arrival.
