with only 100 metres between them.

They are counted as part of Ko Lanta archipelago.

There are almost no people living on Ko Rok, 
 the islands  remain unspoiled.


 Ko Rok Nok has some beautiful beaches,

 Ao Man Sai Beach in particular is

 Ranked in the top ten most beautiful beaches in  Thailand.

 This long beach has real white powder sands and crystal clear waters,

 with a fairly shallow tide rich with       fabulous corals offshore, 


The best period of time snorkeling  trip to  Rok Island
is from   15 October -  end of  April  with good   weather 

The beach is verdant with rainforest and mangrove tree, 

and just a few steps walk into the forest enables you

to see a jungle of huge banyan trees,  A little further
brings you to another beach

 named Ao Tha Lu. The sands here are shaped 
 and surrounded by black limestone cliffs.

Ko Rok Nai is just 100 metres away and can be easily swum across to. 
One particularly beautiful  beach named Ao Sarn Chao (Spirit House Beach).

  At the southern-most end of this island there is some stunning

 geography and a pole mark which points   to the end of island.

 Between these two islands is a snorkellers’ paradise with its’ 

 glass-clear waters and visibility of up to 20 metres.

 The long reef extends for a square mile
 with both soft and hard corals.

There are no resorts on this  island, just the Ko Rok Ranger Station

and Office under the Ko Lanta National Marine Park local department here. 

They can provide tents rent at a cost of around 300-700 baht 
depending on size.

There is a communal restroom and toilets which are clean enough 

and basic drinks can be bought at the office,

 but you need to make your own provisions for food.

we recommend you take some instant food-stuffs  

and/or bread  to use as staple stocks,

when you leave Ko Lanta as fishing is not allowed on the island

 under National Marine Park protection rules 

Rok island  is good for  a day trip snorkeling  by speed boat

which give you comfortable and have the time more on  the island
