A trip to Koh Rat, (เกาะแรต)
This island is a tiny gem connected to the mainland at Donsak by a road bridge. The bridge, essentially a single-track road, adds to the charm and simplicity of the island. However, it's worth noting that parking can be a bit of a challenge on Koh Rat. Despite this minor inconvenience, the island's charm and appeal are undiminished.
Koh Rat is renowned for its local fishing industry. The fish caught here are often dried and packaged, and can be purchased at very reasonable prices. This provides a unique opportunity for visitors to take a piece of Koh Rat home with them. The island also offers some excellent photo opportunities for those who wish to capture its beauty and charm.
Adding to the island's appeal is an intriguing Chinese Buddhist temple. This temple is a must-visit for anyone who finds themselves on Koh Rat. While the island may not require a lengthy stay, it's certainly worth a visit if you're in the area. Supporting the local fishermen and women not only contributes to the local economy but also allows visitors to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the island's culture and way of life.
