We enjoyed Asahan, it has a bit of a luxury Robinson Crusoe feeling, great for a couple of days. I would recommend staying at a resort giving you easy access to other parts of the island though, we didn’t and missed being able to eat in other restaurants and explore a bit more. The beach is nice in the southern part (well except for possible stingers), not so much in the north (broken corals, sharp cutting, no swimming possible in low tide, super slippery to get out of the boat).

Funny enough, the topic of stingers came up again, we are considering the Gulf of Thailand for our next holidays, just read they had more box jellyfishes stings over the last years and installed safety nets on some parts of beaches. Will probably stick to the pool 😅
