PANORAMA FROM THE TOP OF THE ISLAND

An exceptional panorama is available from the heights of the island. The climb takes place from the village of Ta Sai on the beach side of Loh Dalum. The path (the staircase, in fact) starts not far from the new reception office of Maya Tour (the itinerary is signposted), with 25 min of «intensive» ascent. The first view is at the top of a long house occupied by a Thai family that has since opened a restaurant. Since the viewpoint is located on private property, the right of passage must be fulfilled. Provide good shoes and water. It is by continuing the same path as you can access Relax Beach and Loh Bakao Bay, among others.

From the rocks in above, unobstructed on the beaches of Loh Dalam and Ta Sai, and the cliffs plunging into the sea opposite. The beauty of the site seems unreal. It is preferable to climb around 16 h 30 rather than at the moment of the setting (18 h) when the colored rock walls still receive sunlight.

A second point of view is 500 m from there, in the north, following a small path that flows through the trees, descending first and then moving towards the main ridge. Here, installed all the top, a guesthouse has been set up: a long house with a wooden terrace. You can spend the night there. On the edge of the slope, a tiny terrace offers a different panorama, by a ditch in the middle of the trees. A third is a step further, by entering the forest.
