This is a one-time fee, that will be charged to the guest account (incidentals) at the resort upon departure and is also valid to visit all other islands in the Nation Park (Koh rok, koh waen, koh chuek, koh mook, koh libong koh ngai and koh kradan).

Located off the coast of rang in the south - eastern part of Thailand, Koh Kradan forms part of the Hat Chao Mai National Park. Established in 1981 as one of the Thailand's national park reserves, Hat Chao Mai covers more than 230 square kilometres and offers a variety of tropical environments. People have been drawn to the charms of Hat Chao Mai with it being the least developed region in Thailand, and as such it still maintains much of its natural beauty.

The Sevenseas Resort - Koh Kradan is just a short 45 minutes by long tail speedboat from Kuang Toong Gu Pier at Trang on the mainland. Transfers to the pier can be arranged from Phuket, Krabi and Trang airports and hotels.

As transfers are by boat it is important to remember that in the event of bad weather boat will not be able to operate. Also, there is no pier on oh Kradan. You will be required to get in and out of the boat form the beach and as such you will get a little wet. At high tide the boats can pull up directly in front of the resort but low tide they have to head aprox 200m further up the beach.

Boat transfers can be affected by adverse weather conditions which are beyond the control of the resort. Should it be deemed unsafe then boat transfers will not operate. The resort will not be held accountable in the event of such conditions. The resort should be made aware of any guests requiring special assistance.
