Koh Trong Map

The Koh Trong island map is finally finished and hanging at the visitor information hut once you've arrived off the boat from Kratie.

A map was one thing that we thought would be of great benefit to tourists visiting Koh Trong. The map shows the trails their distances, plus the location of the various sights, home stays, and community growing projects.

Measuring out the lettering with chalk


We began by salvaging a couple of old wooden shutters from Wat Tay Param Kbal Koh, in the north of the island. These were then cut to size, planed on the edges and joined together.

All of the details of the map are hand painted in fantastically thick and bright enamel paint and it took around 4 days from start to finish to complete.

Hopefully no spelling mistakes

The signs now hung to by the entrance to the information centre which is where you're able to hire a bike and other transport around Koh Trong.
