Koh Kradat Deer Island

11° 50.0′ N · 102° 31.2′ E

A privately owned, coconut-farming island east of Koh Mak, with a herd of wild deer roaming open grassland. Visitors are currently stopped to let the herd recover.

Practical

Southeast Asia Pilot: shallow water with coral outcrops; not approachable by keelboats or powerboats; longtails land, and dinghies can approach with care. Private, with one small resort; grassland with a herd of wild deer. explorekohchang (26/27 season): entry 150 THB, boats about 350 THB return from Koh Mak, but the island is closed with no reopening date while the deer recover from health problems (the page gives conflicting closure dates of May and June 2026). The coordinate is OpenStreetMap's Koh Kradat pier. Check that it has reopened before going.

Best for

Deer-spotting by longtail or dinghy, when open
