The first item on our list is Koh Kradan Beach, the island's main beach, which is its true calling card. This long, sandy beach with a 4.6 rating is the perfect place to take photos that capture the essence of a tropical paradise. The white sands contrasting with the turquoise water create an amazing backdrop for your photographs.

The best time for a photo shoot is early morning or late afternoon, when the light is soft and warm, perfect for highlighting the colors of the sea and sand. Be sure to capture in your photos the distinctive longtail boats that dock at the shore - they will add an authentic Thai touch to your photographs.

For lovers of underwater photography, Koh Kradan Beach also offers great opportunities. As one reviewer noted: 'You can snorkel and watch fish from a shallow spot. It's worth bringing a waterproof camera or smartphone case to capture the colorful underwater world just off shore.

Keep in mind, however, that the beach can be quite crowded during peak season. If you're looking for photos without crowds, it's a good idea to get up early in the morning. Additionally, as another visitor noted: 'There are remnants of coral and rocks at the resort above the beach. Be careful when playing in the water'. These natural elements can make an interesting foreground for your photos, but be careful, especially at low tide.

Another place that is sure to delight Instagram lovers is Sunset Beach. Located on the west side of the island, this small, charming beach, with a 4.2 rating, is the perfect place to capture spectacular sunsets.

As the name suggests, Sunset Beach is famous for its incredible views during sunset. One reviewer advises: 'I recommend inviting a friend and coming at 4pm, it's already beautiful. This is the perfect time to prepare for a photo shoot and find the best spot to capture the magical moment when the sun dips into the sea.

Sunset Beach can be reached by boat, kayak or on foot along a path through the jungle. The latter option in itself can be an interesting subject for your photos. As one visitor notes: 'The walking path next to the property is a forest path, not very long, but quite lonely. However, remember to bring a flashlight for the way back after sunset.

It's worth noting that Sunset Beach is less crowded than the island's main beach, providing more opportunities for photos without unwanted elements in the background. However, as one reviewer mentions: 'Everyone staying overnight on Koh Kradan has to come there at least once for the beautiful sunset, which results in a few people instead of no one being there before dark'. Therefore, if you want photos without other people, it's worth coming early and getting the best spot.

Remember to prepare your camera equipment for a variety of lighting conditions - from the bright afternoon sun to the warm golden light of the west. It's a good idea to bring a tripod with you to capture longer exposures during twilight, when the colors of the sky are at their most intense.

Although the main beach and Sunset Beach are undoubtedly the main attractions of Koh Kradan, the island offers even more photogenic places to explore and capture in photos.

One such place is Chao Mai National Park Protection Unit 3, with an impressive rating of 4.6. This spot not only offers beautiful sea views, but also a chance to capture the island's wildlife. One reviewer notes, 'This beautiful island is on the list of top 100 beaches in the world! Beautiful underwater world, colorful atmosphere and life!' This is the perfect place to take photos that capture the natural beauty and biodiversity of Koh Kradan.

For those looking for truly unique frames, Aquamarine Beach is worth a visit. This beach, with a stunning 4.9 rating, impresses with its crystal clear waters and white sand. As one visitor describes: 'The water is clear, with a blue-green color reminiscent of turquoise. It's the perfect place to take photos that highlight the amazing colors of the sea around Koh Kradan.

When comparing these places, it's worth noting that each offers slightly different photo opportunities. Koh Kradan Beach is the most accessible and offers the most amenities, but can be crowded. Sunset Beach is less crowded, but requires more effort to reach. Chao Mai National Park Protection Unit 3 offers wilder and more natural scenery, perfect for nature lovers. Aquamarine Beach, on the other hand, is famous for its most intense water colors.

Keep in mind that Koh Kradan is a small island with no developed infrastructure. As one reviewer notes: 'There are no roads, no vehicles, no stores on the island (except for one small kiosk at one of the resorts - buy beer, chewing gum and chips there). That's why it's a good idea to plan your trip well and bring everything you might need for the perfect photo shoot - from spare batteries to snacks.

Whichever location you choose, Koh Kradan offers countless opportunities for photos that are sure to delight your followers on Instagram. Remember, however, to enjoy not only the photography, but also your stay on this paradise island itself. Sometimes the most beautiful memories are the ones you didn't manage to capture in a photo.
