On the island, there is also a viewpoint called “Pha Chado,” which was an observatory point for pirates in the past to attack commercial ships. Nowadays, it is a beautiful viewpoint which requires a 40-minute walk to reach the top. An open ground on Pha Chado or the Chado cliff overlooks lines of pine trees and the white sandy cape of Ko Adang and Ko Lipe. The viewpoint is also best for a sunrise
