Upon our arrival on a sunny afternoon, the water at the beach was not crystal clear, but it had a lovely turquoise hue. The sea was peaceful and calm. Unfortunately, a rainstorm interrupted our plans to swim, but we noticed others enjoying a dip when the weather was sunny. Although the beach didn't appear to be exceptionally clean, it didn't deter people from swimming. Comparatively, the prices for drinks, food, and transportation in this area were quite high for Thailand, resembling European pricing, which we found astonishing considering the other islands we had visited.
