Banana Beach, Ko He

Because of the current Covid restrictions, I found that everywhere we went had less people than I would expect, so my review is based on the fact that Banana Island wasn’t crowded at all. This was a gorgeous way to spend the day. We took a private long boat from Ra Wei (1500 baht, but we got him to throw in snorkel masks). Once there, you either pay 100baht or 300baht but then you get coupons to use that 300 for food/drink. We were able to claim one of those “Instagram” hanging lounges and spend the day snorkeling (lots of cool fish and sea urchins!), relaxing, and swimming. Definitely recommend.

The island was beautiful and happy to pay the 100 baht fee for use of the chairs and toilets. Water was clear but why I give such a low rating was the fact that there was so much rubbish on the beach especially it being a serviced island. Disappointing really. Was also obvious that they were burning the plastic rubbish on the island as well. banana beach you can do better. Even phi Phi island didn’t have this much rubbish 😢
