If you want to stay among untouched wilderness and spend very peaceful days on the beach, Koh Talu is the place to be. The island is unique with a big hole on the rock at the northern end of the island, hence the name. Three bays with pristine beaches and stunning clear water will easily lure you. 

The far eastern end of Rayong’s sea is Mu Ko Mun, or the Koh Mun Archipelago which comprises three islands. Besides the neglected beaches, coral reefs, and easy atmosphere, Koh Mun Nai houses a turtle conservation center established according to the royal initiative of Queen Sirikit.
