Koh Mai Thon, or Maiton Island, is a stunning private island a little further out the south-eastern coast of Phuket, on the way to Phi Phi Islands. It is a wonderful tiny granite island covered with a lush vegetation rich of palms and tall trees, in fact Koh Mai Thon means “Timber Island” in Thai. The island is relatively unknown and little frequented by tourists due of the considerable distance from the coast of main island. However, it is one of the most beautiful islands around Phuket, a real unspoiled tropical paradise. Koh Mai Thon is a small jewel in the Andaman Sea, the dream of every tourist which comes true in real life. The small island has a stunning white sandy beach surrounded by turquoise waters of amazing clarity, ideal for swimming and snorkelling. Despite it is one of the most beautiful beach around Phuket, it is never crowded, this because unlike other most popular islands close to main island here arrive only a few small groups of tourists with the daily trips, a blessing for those want to enjoy a corner of paradise all to himself. Honeymoon Island Hotel is the only overnight accommodation on the island. The beautiful five-star hotel is one of favourite destinations, as the name suggests, for high-level romantic stays and it is often used for photo shoots and weddings services. The hotel has a swimming pool, beach volleyball, sauna, conference rooms, scuba diving centre and a spa.
What to Expect- Not many agencies tour operators offer day-trips to this wonderful island, due its cost is a little higher compared to other excursions on the islands closest to the coast, but without doubt the overcharge will reward with one of the most beautiful hikes around Phuket. Usually the one-day tour includes the transfer by minivan from your hotel, the roundtrip by speedboat from Chalong Pier, fresh fruits, soft drinks and snacks on board, free deckchair on the beach, lunch buffet, snorkelling equipment, tour guide and insurance. Prices of tours range from 2,300 to 2,800 THB depending on the company and eventual options chosen.Read More
