The largest and the only inhabited of the six islands
cover a total of 28 square kilometers. The island is 8 kms long and
3.5 kms across at the widest point. At the northern most part of the
island, Cape Laem Tong is home to Chao Ley or a sea gipsy village.
This community migrated from Koh Lipeh in Tarutao National Park close
to the Malay boarder. Some of the islands best diving can be found
in Laem Tong also at Hua Rah Ket on the most southern part of the
island. Around the island are long beaches with a few rocks scattered
about. The back-to-back curving bays of Ton Sai and Loh Dalam are
particularly beautiful.
