About this place
Ko Waen is a separate feature from nearby Ko Chueak, although the two often appear together in excursion descriptions. It lies in Ko Libong Subdistrict, Kantang District, within the Hat Chao Mai protected marine area. Its interest is primarily in the surrounding water and rock scenery, rather than a conventional beach or island village.

Plan your visit
Arrange an appropriate boat outing and ask which marine sites are accessible. Currents, weather and national-park restrictions determine whether snorkelling can proceed. Confirm safety arrangements and follow the guide in the water. Do not assume that a stop advertised as Ko Chueak–Ko Waen includes landing on either rock island or provides shore facilities.
