The Tourism Authority of Thailand’s ( Photo ) Trat province’s Koh Kham island is located in the eastern region of Thailand.

Facebook recently made headlines on Wednesday when it announced plans to sell Koh Kham beach, complete with unfinished resort homes, for 1.8 billion baht.

Apassara Sonsab, a Twitter user, claimed that the “private beach” for sale was Trat’s most stunning island, and that there were no finished resort homes included in the same sale package.

The island’s area for sale is estimated to be about 10 rai, and it is home to groups of wonderful volcanic rocks, crystal clear seawater, and a clear sand beach that extends about 300 meters. It is located one kilometer from Koh Mak and 35 kilometers from Trat, the peninsula.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Trat office responded to the Koh Kham selling comments by stating that visitors to the island by boat or yacht from Koh Mak, to observe volcanic rock structures and coral, and to take in the stunning environment.

The business claimed that Koh Kham was a volcanic crater hundreds of millions of years back.

In 2014, the owner of the area was charged with bush and water invasion by building a 148-metre-long gate, a 480m-long slope and land restoration.
