The Khai Islands are three small sandy islands, not three big Phi Phis. Khai Nok is known for its free-roaming cats, Khai Nai has the wider beach, and Khai Nui is usually a short snorkeling stop. Please do not feed the cats, and keep children supervised around them.
The crossing is about as short as Coral Island. Khai works well if Maya Bay is not a priority and you want a straightforward, budget-conscious day on the water. Snorkeling is shallow and suitable for beginners.
The short crossing often makes Khai possible even in moderate weather. Visibility is generally better from November to April; from May to October the islands are often quieter.
Please do not feed or pick up the cats, and wash your hands after contact. Keep an eye on children. Even in shallow water, never stand on coral.
