FAQ

Where can I see pink dolphins in Khanom?

Boats leave from piers around Laem Prathap or Thong Nian in the north of Khanom to look for the pink dolphins that live along the coast; mornings with a calm sea give the best chance. Book a boat tour ahead and remember they are wild animals — some days you see many, some days few.

Which Khanom beach is best without a car?

Nai Phlao is best without a car, as the stays, restaurants and services are clustered within walking distance, while Nadan is longer and quieter but more spread out and better with a car or motorbike — for convenience, choose Nai Phlao first.

Can I reach Koh Samui from Khanom?

Yes — Khanom is near the Don Sak piers with ferries to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, a short drive away, handy if you want to stop in Khanom before or after the islands, or prefer a quiet mainland coast instead of an island.
