Beach overall scores
Ko Mat Sum beach (Surat Thani) is located outside the Ban Bang Khao settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Ko Mat Sum island and the correct question is not how to get to Ko Mat Sum beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"The serene and picturesque island boasts adorable pigs and a charming restaurant. However, it has recently become a popular tourist destination, leading to overcrowding during midday. Nonetheless, strolling on the sandy beach or wading in the turquoise waters provides a soothing and rejuvenating experience for the soul."
