About Ko Kham Yai

Ko Kham Yai is a separate island beside Ko Sichang in Tha Thewawong Subdistrict, Ko Sichang District. It forms part of the Sichang island group, rather than the Samae San islands. The community's fishing livelihoods and coastal setting distinguish it from a resort-only island.

Ko Sichang Municipality describes local seafood processing, the Guan Yu and Chao Mae Thapthim shrines and a tradition associated with Songkran. DMCR records community-led marine conservation around the island. Visiting involves a working village, so local customs and private homes deserve the same consideration as the island scenery.

Ask the passenger-boat operator at Ko Loi or Ko Sichang whether the current sailing calls at Ko Kham Yai and arrange the return before disembarking. Municipality material mentions guest accommodation, while an older DMCR report predates such services; confirm present availability directly rather than assuming either account is current. Arrange meals or a stay ahead of time and follow community guidance on any marine activity.
