Mu Ko Ang Thong National Park

The protected area encompasses 42 islands with limestone mountains, dense tropical forests, white sand beaches, and coral reefs across 102 square kilometers.

The Thai government established Mu Ko Ang Thong National Park in 1980 to safeguard the marine ecosystems and protect local wildlife species from environmental threats.

The waters surrounding the islands maintain traditional Thai fishing practices, with local communities continuing their ancestral methods of sustainable marine resource management.

Visitors can access the park through organized boat tours from Koh Samui or Surat Thani, with options ranging from day trips to overnight camping experiences.

The emerald lake Talay Nai sits within Koh Mae Ko island, surrounded by steep cliffs and connected to the sea through underwater caves.
