Ko Phayam is a small island in the Andaman Sea off the coast of Ranong Province in southern Thailand, within Mueang Ranong District. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, long sandy beaches, cashew nut plantations and absence of cars, it offers a quiet alternative to more developed islands. Accessible only by boat from Ranong, it is noted for beaches such as Ao Yai and Ao Khao Kwai (Buffalo Bay) and for cycling, beach stays and nature.
