Mu Ko Phetra National Park

The national park spans 494 square kilometers across the Strait of Malacca, including 30 islands with limestone cliffs, coral reefs, and coastal territories.

The national park received its designation in December 1984, marking Thailand's 49th national park and 14th marine protected area in the country.

The name Phetra originates from the Malay term Pulau Petra, reflecting the historical connections between Thai and Malay maritime cultures.

Local tour companies provide transportation to explore the islands, ensuring recognition from guards who monitor bird nest collection sites.

The islands serve as nesting grounds for marine turtles and house caves where swiftlets construct nests, leading to strict protection measures.
