One of the niche of this island is its beautiful beaches, very white and fine as powder sands. the other outstanding features are its crystal blue water  and through which colorful fishes could be seen very clearly.

This had being the best sea orientated trip! My dreams came true, beautiful places good company and best of all, we were there at the early stage. A paradise which would not be kept away from the tourist for long. I am not the marrying kind but picked this up from the net "Everywhere needs a special thing it seems these days. Gorgeous white sandy beaches and turquoise water just ain't enough to attract discerning wallet toting holidays makers anymore.

The island of Koh Kradan has a thing. That thing is the underwater wedding ceremony, where every Valentines Day, romantic couples who are into diving can get married twelve meters below the surface, in the largest wedding ceremony of its kind."
