Thailand has hundreds of islands (Phang Nga bay has 67, the Moo Ko Chang Marine National Park has 52, Tarutao National Marine Park has 51), thus this list is not all-inclusive.
1. In Thai, the names of islands are usually preceded with the word Ko (Thai เกาะ), the Thai word for island. This word is often alternately romanized as Koh, Go or Goh. Thus English language references to the names of the Thai islands should not have an additional island in their name, or else the Ko should be left out. For example, "Ko Phi Phi Island" would be redundant, since Ko Phi Phi already means "Phi Phi Island"
2. Various maps commonly spell Thai names differently, using different transliterations. For example, Ko Mak may be seen as Koh Mak, Koh Maak or even Koh Mark. Thus, to help in using search engines, the list also contains alternative names (used on some maps) either in the "Alternate spellings" column, or in parentheses
