Ang Thong National Marine Park Tours, Koh Samui, Thailand
The best time to visit this beautiful area of Thailand is from late March to October; however, when the weather is favourable, visitors may visit at any time of the year. The weather in Mu Ko Ang Thong National Park is strongly influenced by monsoons during November and December; therefore there are big waves and heavy rain. With the weather being humid and hot during February and April, the sea is calm and suitable for sailing.
The park’s most popular attractions include Koh Mae, an extraordinary beach and Thale Nai; an emerald saltwater lake famous for its serene setting and panoramic views.
All around this marine park, you will notice a large variety of wildlife. Some of the inhabiting species include the famous Asian long-tailed monkey, reef egrets, hairy-nosed otters, white-bellied sea eagles, tortoises, ashy drongos, sea turtles, lizards and large pythons.
Is there any tour from Koh Tao to the Ang Thong National park?
I will stay 1 night at Koh Tao, so I don’t know if I should stay there first and the next day go to the Park, or visit the Park first?
Any idea? Thanks
Hi Amy,
I have read a few posts on Trip Advisor and it appears that most tours to the Ang Thong National Marine Park start from either Koh Samui or Koh Phangan.
Having said that, there are possibly tours from Koh Tao, but the information is very limited. As with most things in Thailand, it is almost always going to be cheaper to book stuff in person.
Thanks
Michael
