Things
to do for non divers
"For
all the others that don't feel like diving, other activities
are possible like the tour of the island in dugout with
a stop to Ko Nang Yuan, an island with 3 beach arms like
a star shape and the sea on all sides, or on foot in the
jungle for the most courageous.
The very beautiful idyllic beaches, abandoned by the webbed
feet that are all in 10 meters deep water, are also an invitation
to sunbathing and relaxation with their white sand. Snorkeling
with a mask, a tuba and palms, will know how to amaze you
with a fauna of colorful fish coming around you, and walls
of multicolored corals."
