Board a private speedboat from Thong Krut for a four‑hour island hop: snorkel Koh Tan’s reefs, relax on Koh Rap’s quiet shore, and meet the pigs on Koh Mudsum as the sun sets. Practical timing, small fees, and sea conditions shape the experience.

The sun leans low over the Gulf of Thailand as the speedboat slips away from Thong Krut pier, wake hissing, and the late-afternoon light painting the water copper. Guests trade the heat of Koh Samui for a four-hour circuit that threads between Koh Tan’s shallow reefs, the quiet green of Koh Rap, and the sandy shorelines of Koh Mudsum — the so-called Pig Island where friendly pigs amble along the beach.
