 The authentic character of Koh Payam will hit you as soon as you set your feet on its soil. No cars here, only motorbikes, bicycles… and the roads that go with them, meaning narrow, always ending up in trails through the cashew nuts plantations. Contrary to its neighbouring islands, Koh Payam has long white sandy beaches that stretch between rocky heights, ideal for the jogger. Perfect for sunbathing. Swimming, snorkelling, trekking, biking, or hammock practice here's is an activity for everyone ! The cashew nut is the queen of the island. Each year on the 16th of March, the "Cashew nut Festival" gathers, Thai boxing, cock fighting, even a Miss Cashew competition ! Accommodation ranges from simple bamboo huts to more comfortable concrete bungalows. Food is cheap, varied, and with an abundant choice of seafood. Isn't all this very tempting ?
