Island Around Tarutao..


               
          Ko Khai is a small island nestling at mid-point between Ko Tarutao and Mu Ko Adang-Rawi. it attracts a number of tourists, because of its beautiful beaches with pure white sand and clear indigo blue waters. Originally it was named Ko Khai ("Khai" means egg in Thai) because sea turtles used to lay eggs here. The Island has been adopted as a symbol of Tarutao National Park, and is also a tourism symbol of Satun Province. On account of the presence on the island of a remarkably wonderful rock formation in the shape of an arched stone bridge that stretches from the beach’s edge on to the sea. This unique creation of
nature has impressed countless tourists, giving the impression that it was crafted by man.
               Another fascinating island is the small, stunning Ko Hin Ngam. Here its beach, instead of having pure white fine sand typical of the other islands, is covered with beautiful round, black and seemingly polished stones of exquisitely beautiful patterns. When touched by bright sunlight, the rocks give off a slick glitter that is guide attractive. The roundness of these stones and pebbles arises front it being polished and shaped by the everlasting waves hitting it year after year. Legend has it that a curse had been cast on these stones by a guardian spirit, that anyone taking possession of these stones will suffer a horrible death.
