Ko Nom Sao

Ko Nom Sao consists of twin limestone islands located in Phang Nga Bay. Visitors go here to observe the distinct geological formations and the surrounding marine environment. These islands are part of the Ko Panyi subdistrict in Phang Nga Province.

Getting There

Access to these islands is by boat from the mainland or from Phuket. Since they are located in the bay, travelers typically arrange a long-tail boat or a speedboat tour. The travel time varies depending on the departure point and boat speed, but it generally takes several hours from Phuket city center to reach the Phang Nga Bay area.

Duration of Visit

Most visitors spend between one and three hours at the site. This allows enough time for sightseeing from the water and photography of the twin peaks.

When to Visit

The best time to visit is during the dry season, typically from November to April, when sea conditions are calmer. To avoid the largest crowds, arriving in the early morning is recommended. The area can become crowded during peak tourist months and midday hours.

Nearby Attractions

The islands are situated near several other landmarks in the bay. You can combine a visit here with trips to:

  • Ko Yao Noi (6.1km)
  • Ko Yao Yai (11.5km)
  • Koh Panak (19.4km)
  • Ko Nakha Noi (20km)
