Nangyuan Island Dive Resort

For us this place was like heaven... It is simple, but the surroundings make up for everything.... First we visited the island on a day trip, were happy to find out that you can stay here. I just sat on the terrace and I've felt the happiest. Tourists come during the day, but after3-4 pm you have the island for yourself. Lots of fish and beautiful corrals- bring your snorkel gear!

Really beautiful place and the water is crystal clear. This island is absolutley worth a visit. The low rating I gave it is because of all smoking guests. The rules on the island is that you can’t bring plastic bottles to the beach (really good rule) but it’s ok to smoke on the beach. Why? A lot of butts in the sand and the water. And the restaurant have big signs of No Smoking… but they don’t care. It’s 2024.. come on. if you really have to smoke, walk to the side and Bin your F****ing Butts.

Worst hotel we stayed in, in Thailand, we travelled around Thailand for 2 months. The island is absolutely beautiful and the snorkelling was amazing we swam with black tip sharks everyday we was there. We finished our Thailand adventure on this island celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary which was ruined by the hotel and the very miserable unfriendly and very unhelpful lady at the reception. We booked and paid for a superior room but when we checked in and got to our room K3 we realised and was told by staff that we had been put into a standard room because they didn’t have a superior available so we was trapped in that disgusting filthy dirty room with ripped and stained bed sheets and dirty thread bear towels (see pics) the bathroom sink leaked all over the floor every time we used the tap. The lady at reception didn’t care and offered no solution all she said was the room K3 had a nice view which it did have a lovely view but the view didn’t make up for the disgusting room we was forced to sleep in and was over charged for. After 2 days of emails and trying to make the lady understand that they shouldn’t of put us in a dirty standard Room when we had paid much more for a standated room she finally gave us a very small refund which didn’t come close to covering the difference in price. This is no way to run a hotel, very unprofessional !!!!!!! The food and drinks are very expensive and the food was only just ok.

We visited Nang Yuang in 1994, and we remember that it was really a paradise. The 6.2.2022 we came back. When You arrive they tell You that You can not bring plastic bottles or food with You. No fins and beach shoes are allowed, and no towels on the sand. They want to protect the coral! I said that I would go for free diving and snorkling to the Japanese gardens, where the water is at least 6m deep. No way! Once You are on the island, You will see diver rookies with the whole equipment on the beach. You will find sunbeds for rent (no towels on the beach...). The main part of the island is covered with constructions like restaurant, storehouse etc. (no plastic bottles, no food …). ATTENTION on the beach: It seems that there is nobody, who takes care of the beach: This means that You can find in the sand everything that the sea delivers: plastic bottles, every kind of floaters, LIGHT BULBS etc. I spend 20 minutes in collecting rubbish from the beach, and brought it to the lady, where I paid 200 baht entrance fee asking her if that is what I paid for. She told me that the island is rented out to a private company for 30 years. I recommend to watch the pictures with attention!!!

beautiful place, very rude and unfriendly staff, we arrived on the island at 8-30 in the morning, we got there without any problems, but after 100 meters a woman attacked us with a scream, trying to kick us out, because the island opens at 10-00, the boat on which we sailed already left and we could not return, the woman started hysterical and completely lost her face, we calmly tried to explain to her that we physically cannot leave the island, then she began to call someone and tell something extremely emotionally, for our luck her interlocutor was much more adept and allowed us to go for 200 baht per person. Later we watched as the rest of the tourists who arrived before 10 were forced to stand on the pier in the sun, while the staff sat in the shade, doing nothing and laughing at people in the sun. If you decide to visit this place, be prepared for something that you are not welcome here
