- You may walk in the water up to knee-depth only and no swimming allowed in Maya Bay, to protect the blacktip reef shark population breeding here.

The closure is to allow the coral reefs and marine life to recover from the impact of tourism in order to ensure the long-term preservation of this stunning destination.

Phi Phi Islands
Khai Nai Island
The Koh Khai island group consists of three small private islands, named Koh Khai Nai, Koh Khai Nui and Koh Khai Nok and is located in the Andaman Sea between Koh Sirae (in Phuket) and Koh Yao Yai (in Phang-nga), about 15 to 20 minutes by speedboat from Phuket’s east coast. “Khai” means egg in Thai and the islands get their name from the shape of Koh Kai Nok, which resembles a fried egg when viewed from above. |
---|
Koh Khai Nai is the largest of the three islands and is stunningly beautiful. The unblemished pure-white beaches are almost 500 meters long and the water is crystal clear with stunning coral reefs, which makes it perfect for snorkeling and swimming. |
There is a cat population around 80 strong on Koh Kai Nai, which originated from pets owned by the locals. The cats have become quite the tourist attraction and can be found lying around in local shops and on the beaches. As a result, the island is sometimes referred to as Koh Khai Maew. |
On the eastern side of the island, you will find several large rocks that have been shaped into unusual shapes by natural erosion over many years. Some of the rocks resemble an elephant’s head and there are three that look like turtles, which make for stunning photography and interesting selfies. |
