Ko Loi is a small island joined to the mainland by a bridge, so you walk or drive across without a boat. It is the open space in the middle of Sriracha that local people actually use, every evening.

What is on it

• Wat Koh Loi on the rise in the middle, with a climb to a view
• A park and a shoreline path around the island
• Sea-turtle ponds, which children take to
• The pier for boats to Ko Si Chang, in the same place

Evenings

Late afternoon is when it is at its best — the sea breeze, and the sunset that is the main reason people in Sriracha walk here. The loop around the island is short and easy.

Anyone catching the boat to Ko Si Chang tends to walk here before or after, since the pier is right there.
