Nang Rum Island is a small island located in the waters off Chanthaburi Province. It is well-known among travelers who seek tranquility and highly preserved natural environments. The island's beaches feature spotlessly clean and exceptionally fine white sand, which sharply contrasts with the crystal-clear, turquoise sea water the clarity often allows visibility down to the seabed. This makes it a must-visit destination for those wanting to experience the true, unspoiled beauty of the Thai coast.

A key appeal of Koh Nang Rum is its profound peacefulness. As it is less crowded than major tourist destinations, the atmosphere is private and genuinely relaxing. Beyond the main beach areas, the surrounding waters still host some relatively healthy shallow coral reefs, providing an interesting site for easy snorkeling to observe marine life. Exploring the island can also lead you to a scenic viewpoint that offers breathtaking panoramas of the bay and nearby islands.

The optimal time to visit is during the dry season (November to April), when the sea is calm, and the water is at its clearest. Most visitors engage in activities such as sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, or simply unwinding with a book under the palm trees by the shore. The island's ambiance is utterly laid-back and welcoming, offering visitors a feeling of having genuinely disconnected from the stresses of the outside world.

• By Car: Drive to Chanthaburi town, then continue to the local pier area that provides boat services to the island. You will typically need to park your vehicle at the pier and arrange a ferry or long-tail boat transfer.

• Ferry/Passenger Boat: Must take a sea transport option from a local pier, such as Laem Sing Pier, or use services organized by nearby resorts or local tour operators. (It is highly recommended to confirm the boat schedule in advance.)

• Best Time to Visit: The ideal time to visit is from November to April, the peak season when sea conditions are excellent and water visibility is best. The rainy season (May to October) may result in rough seas, and boat services are sometimes suspended.

• Recommended Gear: It is advisable to pack reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and personal snorkeling gear if you plan to use it frequently.

• Travel Planning: Always confirm the ferry or boat schedule beforehand, as trips may be limited daily. Note that the island itself is car-free; movement is by foot.
