The deep south

Ko Mook

• Accommodation

KO MOOK is best known for its spectacular and, on its west coast, boasts the beautiful Hat Farang beach, with gently shelving white sand, crystal-clear water that's good for swimming and snorkelling, and gorgeous sunsets. The island supports a comparatively busy fishing village on its eastern side, around which – apart from the sandbar that runs out to the very pricy Sivalai Resort – most of the beaches are disappointing, reduced to dirty mud flats when the tide goes out.
