Krok island is a small, exclusive island covering approximately 0.05 square kilometers, located just a few kilometers west of the Pattaya coastline. Although it is a private island, it warmly welcomes visitors to experience the beauty of its powdery white sand beach that stretches along the eastern side, creating a stunning contrast with the crystal-blue waters.

The most distinctive feature of this island is its shallow-water coral reefs, which possess high biodiversity. Visitors can easily spot staghorn corals, brain corals, and schools of colorful tropical fish without needing deep-diving equipment. This makes the island a top-tier destination for snorkeling trips and relaxing one-day excursions.

The ambiance on the island is notably quiet and private, offering a stark contrast to the nearby, more crowded Koh Larn. Popular activities include lounging under the shade of seaside trees, taking scenic strolls, or engaging in high-energy water sports like jet skiing and banana boating, which are available for those seeking a thrill amidst a preserved natural setting.

For photographers and content creators, Koh Krok offers exceptional backdrops with its unique rock formations along the shoreline and water so clear you can see the seabed. Couples looking for a nearby getaway with a non-crowded vibe will find that this island provides a private beach experience that allows for quality time together.
