“Kwang Island is a low hill that juts out into the sea and has a beautiful curved sandy beach.”
Kwang Island is a coastal tourist destination not far from Chanthaburi city, located within the vicinity of Ao Khung Kraben. The beach sand at Ko Kwang is remarkably white, clean, and fine, making it safe for swimming and perfect for seaside relaxation. Its geographic shape, extending into the sea, gives Ko Kwang a distinctive character and makes it an iconic image of the area.
The unique feature of Ko Kwang is that it is a small knoll that connects to the mainland during low tide, creating an island-like atmosphere. It serves as a beautiful viewing point, particularly during sunrise and sunset, when the golden light bathes the water spectacularly. Moreover, the surrounding area is also an important natural and cultural tourist attraction of Chanthaburi.
We invite you to experience the serene charm and beautiful nature of Ko Kwang for yourself; you are sure to fall in love with this place.
