Ko Rang (Thai: เกาะรัง, pronounced [kɔ̀ʔ rāŋ]) is an island in the southwestern part of the Ko Chang archipelago on the southeastern edge of the Gulf of Thailand.[1] The island rises up out of 60m of water in most places and has few beaches.[2] The southeastern corner of the island offers a reasonable anchorage and the Thai Coast Guard has deployed several mooring buoys in this area for dive boats. There is a small Buddhist shrine on the beach adorned with phallic fertility statues. The small island of Ko Tun lies across a narrow channel to the south where fishing boats take shelter from the southwest monsoon.
