【题目】Haad Farang (Haad Sai Yao),KohMuk
This small but striking bay in Thailand has waters free from riptides(激流),making it safe for families to play water in the sun.As its nickname implies—Farang is Thai for foreigners—you'll find a large concentration of backpackers here.Still,with only a couple of simple food shops,it's a far cry from the noises of Chaweng beach on Koh Samui or Kamala on Phuket,which makes it to be one of the top tourist destinations.
Rent a sea kayak(皮划艇)(100 baht,which is around£2 an hour) and go around the comer to Tham Morakot (the Emerald Cave),a winding cave that opens up to a.bay walled by thick leaves and often visited by groups of monkeys.It is very inspiring,but to fully appreciate it,be sure to prepare a light to avoid knocking into cave walls and other kayaks.To avoid being crowded,make the trip in the late afternoon.
Where to eat
The Ko Yao Viewpoint Hotel is the best place for tourists.Drink the sweet cocktails in favour of an icy Chang beer and sit in the last rays of the day.
Where to stay
Cheaper hotels of comparable quality are set slightly back in the forest,but if you want beachfront access it's worth choosing one of the basic hotels at Koh Mook Charlie Beach Resort (bungalows from£32).
Getting there
Fly from Bangkok to Trang with Air Asia (from£30),then take a one-hour Tigerline ship from Hat Yao Pier (£19).Besides,a five-hour ship from Phuket at Rassada Pier(£41) goes directly to the island and will drop passengers at Haad Farang.
