Hin Kuak Maa, locally referred to as Three Fingers or Horseshoe Rock, sits within the Mu Koh Chang National Park archipelago south of Koh Chang. The site consists of a submerged granite rock formation rising from a sandy seabed, flanked by hard coral gardens and scattered boulder clusters. Calm conditions and gentle slopes make this a staple destination for day trips departing from Bang Bao pier.
