Hat Khanom–Mu Ko Thale Tai National Park, National park in southern Thailand
Hat Khanom-Mu Ko Thale Tai National Park covers approximately 312 square kilometers of coastal and marine territory, featuring eight islands, sandy beaches, limestone ridges, and extensive mangrove wetlands. The land combines several distinct environments that interact with each other through water and natural channels.
The Department of National Parks began the formal process of establishing this protected area in 2015 to safeguard regional ecosystems. This decision marked a turning point for conservation efforts in the area.
Fishing communities around the islands maintain ways of life that have existed for generations and shape how people interact with the sea today. You can see these traditions reflected in boats, nets, and daily routines along the coastline.
You can reach the park from multiple entry points spread across three different provinces on the southern coast. Choose your approach depending on which district or island interests you most.
Rainfall occurs throughout the year due to winds from opposite directions, creating exceptionally wet conditions that support unusual plant species. This constant moisture allows vegetation to thrive in ways not seen in drier parts of the country.
