Ko He

Ko He is an island located approximately 8 kilometers southeast of Phuket in the Raya Islands group. Travelers visit this location primarily for nature-based activities, including snorkeling and swimming in the surrounding waters.

Getting There

Access to the island is by boat from the Phuket coast. Depending on the departure point and the type of vessel used, the journey typically takes between 20 to 40 minutes from the mainland.

Duration of Visit

Most visitors spend a half-day or a full day on the island. This allows sufficient time for swimming and exploring the shoreline before returning to the mainland.

When to Visit

The best time to visit is during the dry season when sea conditions are calmer for boat transfers. Like many popular spots in Phuket, the island can become crowded during peak tourist months and during the middle of the day when tour groups arrive.

Nearby Attractions

Because the island is accessed by boat, it is often combined with other nearby islands or coastal points in the south of Phuket. Nearby locations include:

  • Ko Bon: 4.9km
  • Ko Lon: 5.1km
  • Rawai: 6.4km
  • Phromthep Cape: 7.7km
