This Ko Kham is the small island off Samae San in Sattahip District, Chon Buri. It is the site of the Navy-managed Koh Kham Underwater Park, distinct from the island of the same name near Ko Mak in Trat.
The island's managed visitor programme focuses on the beach, coral reef and coastal nature. Official visitor information describes snorkeling, kayaking and a nature trail to a viewpoint, subject to the day's permitted activities. Boats use the Khao Ma Cho departure area; tickets should be obtained through the official arrangements.
The official island rules prohibit overnight stays and outside food or drinks; food and drinking water are sold on the island. All passengers must follow crew instructions and wear life jackets during the crossing. The authority may cancel access at short notice for weather. Boat transfers and changing tide levels can make boarding difficult, so discuss mobility needs before paying.
