Koh Ngam is an enchanting island just a few hundred metres off the southern coast of Koh Chang (Ko Chang). It is a small island with a very narrow sand dune that forms a gorgeous contour holding the northeast and southwest section of the island together. The almost kidney-shaped island would look like 2 separate islands from afar. Besides holding the island in one piece the sand dune creates 2 crescent-shaped lagoons which are only 50 metres apart. The lagoons are excellent for swimming, snorkelling, diving or fishing. Corals and fishes are plenty. Occasionally, you may see dolphins in the area. For the more adventurous, a hike up the rocks to a 100 metre-high hill on the southwest side of the island is both challenging and rewarding. Ropes are provided to guide you. Over the hill is a white sand beach where you will also see plenty of decayed corals. The beach is an excellent viewpoint for the islands of Koh Wai, Koh Mak, Koh Laoya, Koh Kradad and Koh Chang. It is also a great place to watch the sunset. Koh Ngam is ideal for a family vacation. There is only one resort here, the Twin Island Resort, which offers only full board packages. Fresh-water ponds are found on the island. A waterfall flows across the island during the rainy season.
