Koh Nang Yuan Viewpoint, Surat Thani Province
Conquering the Koh Nang Yuan Viewpoint, located on the southern side of Koh Nang Yuan, begins near the pier. The round-trip distance is approximately 1.2 kilometers, taking about 10 minutes to walk up. Although the trail isn't very long, the weather is quite hot and humid, so it's advisable to bring drinking water and wear comfortable shoes.
Climbing up this rock is very difficult. Look closely at the fat dog's knee; there's a scrape. It was slippery and he got his knee scraped. But standing or sitting here, it's truly beautiful. This set of photos hardly needed any adjustments; the light is amazing. It's one of the most beautiful islands in Thailand.
