Mu Ko Ang Thong National Marine Park

"If you're looking for a rad place to explore in the Gulf of Thailand, Mu Ko Ang Thong National Park should definitely be on your list! This marine national park boasts a whopping 42 islands to check out. To really experience this beauty, we suggest hopping on a boat tour or renting your own vessel. Whether you're feeling the need for speed on a speedboat or want to take it easy and paddle around in a kayak, there's an option for you. Snorkeling and diving enthusiasts will be stoked to hear that there are loads of sweet spots to check out in the park. And if you want to spend a night or two, you can rent a tent or bungalow to take in all the awesomeness. Some of the islands have beautiful beaches with white sand, while others have mountains that offer epic views when you hike to the top. Plus, keep your eyes peeled for some cool critters like monkeys, otters, wild boar, dusty-leaf and macaque monkeys that call the islands home."

"Full disclosure: I didn’t have time to do this trip myself but I would’ve definitely gone had I had the time! The photos of Ang Thong Marine Park are jaw-dropping—think towering limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons, and pristine beaches scattered across 42 islands. You can take a day tour from Koh Samui, which includes kayaking through sea caves, hiking to incredible viewpoints, and snorkeling in the clear blue waters. From what I’ve heard, it’s a dream for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. If you have the time, don’t miss this. If you decide to go, I recommend this tour to Ang Thong Marine Park for a better experience. "

"Buy a day trip to explore all the picturesque islands of An Thong. Make sure to do the hike to the viewpoint so you get to see the postcard view at the end. "
