2. Koh Hingham, Thailand
Another island on this list and this small uninhabited island is covered with precious stones. The stones or pebbles there are mostly black and white that glimmer and sparkle under the sun which in Thai Mythology is said to be made by the God, Tarutao. So in legends, the island is said to be protected by an ancient curse that anyone who takes any stones from the island will have a lifetime of badluck.
A bit like the Pele’s curse as mentioned earlier. Every year, people have ignored those legends and every year there would be people trying to return the stones in an attempt to break the curse. Even so, the island is safe to visit and the pebbles can be played with how ever you want, as long as the pebbles remain in the island.
