About this place
The name Ko Chueak is associated with ropes used by snorkellers to keep position in the current between the limestone outcrops. Coral and fish are the main attraction around the rocks. Ko Chueak and nearby Ko Waen are distinct islands within Ko Libong Subdistrict, even when a tour groups them under one stop name.

Plan your visit
Use an organised boat outing with clear guidance on water conditions, flotation and supervision. Strong currents make this different from swimming off a sheltered beach; follow the guide and do not enter closed areas. Check Hat Chao Mai National Park notices before booking and confirm whether the itinerary is an offshore snorkelling stop rather than a landing.
