If you're researching Koh Phaluai, you've probably noticed something frustrating: there isn't much information available.

Before our trip, we spent hours searching for blog posts, reviews, and travel guides, trying to answer some pretty basic questions.

Can you actually stay on the island?

Is it worth spending the night, or should you just visit on a day tour?

What is there to do?

After four nights on Koh Phaluai with our eight-month-old son, Parker, we finally have those answers.

Koh Phaluai isn't for everyone. There are no luxury resorts, no beach clubs, very little Wi-Fi, and only a handful of places to stay.

But if you're looking for somewhere to completely disconnect and experience one of Thailand's most peaceful islands, it might become one of your favourite places too.
