Ang Thong National Marine Park One of the most popular tourist spots among an archipelago of 42 islands is Ang Thong National Marine Park. Situated an hour from Koh Samui by speedboat, these beautiful islands are known for their natural beauty. Also known as Golden Bowl, these islands cover an area of around 250 Km². Each island has its name derived from its exquisitely shaped and sized geography that has also resulted in some breathtaking rock formations and cliffs.   The islands chiefly consist of beaches, evergreens, and limestone tropical rainforests. Ang Thong Marine Park also serves as a refuge for the wildlife around as its waters are protected. The local wildlife includes monkeys, bats, boars, iguanas, lizards, pythons, cobras, green and hawksbill turtles, reef sharks, whales, dolphins, lizards, and otters among others. They are also home to over 54 different species of birds.   Taking your camera along on the tours is highly recommended, as you will likely come across the wildlife native to the islands. Among the things that will gain your interest on the islands are white sandy beaches, kayaking tour of the caves, sightseeing, hidden lagoons, and the awe-inspiring underwater landscape.   Situated at the North-West of Ang Thong is the Koh Wao island. Since it is at some distance from Koh Samui and the mainland, its waters are clear and offer great visibility, making it an ideal location for snorkeling. You can find soft corals on this island only, in contrast with the hard corals that are found on the other islands.   This island is a paradise for snorkelers as its waters are protected and therefore abundant with various vibrant, colorful, and tropical fish. Some of the common fish include angelfish, barracuda, bannerfish, butterflyfish, fusiliers, moray eels, puffer fish, snappers, and stingrays.   Koh Mae Koh, also known as Mother Island, is one of the most visited islands in Ang Thong Marine Park. What attracts tourists to this spot is the breathtaking view of the entire island that it offers, as well as the fact that it is home to a saltwater lagoon called the Emerald Lake, which sits among limestone cliffs. Staircases have been carefully fixed into the surroundings that can take you to the top of the island in a mere 20 minutes. You can climb to the top, take in the view, stop for a few photos, and if you will, you can come down another set of stairs that will take you to the Emerald Lake.   The only inhabited island in the Ang Thong National Marine Park is the Koh Paluay island. The residents chiefly earn their living from fishing a little off the park’s boundaries, out in the sea where the sea-gypsies reside.   Perched in front of a mountainous background along the West coast and protected by a rocky manmade barrier is a fishing village. This is the place where sightseers and snorkelers stop for lunch during the tour. It also has a restaurant, the only restaurant of the town, which is made on the waterway so tourists can arrive directly on their boat. It is filled with friendly and helpful people who host the guests and serve their lunch.   The village is chiefly constructed with materials that are local to the island, but there is also a concrete building. Chickens, monkeys, and several other reptiles can be seen running freely in the village. The locals are very friendly and hospitable, and if you happen to have a tour guide with you, you can communicate with the locals, and if you are lucky, you might even get to try the local specialties like the Thai chewing gum made from the leaves and sap of a local tree.   Two Brothers, or Song Pee Nong in Thai, is a comparatively deserted beach of the Ang Thong Marine Park. It is located along the Northern coast of Ko Paluay, in between the coastline, and very close to the James Bond island. The island is ideal for a relaxing afternoon on the beach, as well as kayaking.   Although there are many tour operators from Koh Samui to Ang Thong when it comes to sightseeing, kayaking, and snorkeling, this tour operator takes the lead as it avoids other small tours and focuses on the main tour, saving you time for yourself.   In the morning, you may be be approached by other companies from Koh Samui at Koh Wao and Koh Mae Koh, but the afternoons in Koh Paluay are relaxing and free of the crowds.   The tour guides at Koh Samui are one of the best. They are friendly, helpful, willing, and communicate very well. Moreover, they will be delighted to answer any questions you may have.

Ang Thong National Marine Park Tour by Yacht   One of the best ways to explore the 42 islands of Ang Thong National Marine Park is by a yacht tour; a luxurious trip through and through on a luxury yacht for snorkeling, sightseeing, kayaking, and relaxing for one whole day.   It is one of Yacht’s best tours for seeing the surreal beauty of the islands. The Golden Bow, or Ang Thong, islands cover an area of neary 250Km². The unique geography of the islands has resulted in unique names for each island.   The islands are chiefly covered with limestone tropical rainforest, evergreen, beaches, and surrounded by the protected waters of Ang Thong National Marine Park. These waters also serve as a sanctuary for the abundant wildlife local to the island; the wildlife includes whales, dolphins, reef sharks, green turtles, hawksbill turtles, cobras and pythons, lizards, bats, otters, boars, and iguanas, as well as 54 species of birds.   The wildlife is everywhere and tourists usually do come across them, so taking your cameras with you is advised. Things to do at the Ang Thong Marine Park include: snorkeling, touring caves on kayaks, hidden lagoons, white sandy beaches, sightseeing, and the mesmerizing underwater landscape.   When it comes to snorkeling, Koh Wao is the perfect island. This is because it is the northern most island, and is located at a considerable distance from Koh Samui and the mainland. As a result, it has clear water. Moreover, it is home to a beautiful array of soft corals that can’t be found on the other islands.   Since the waters are protected, the marine life is booming in the area. Beautiful, vibrant, and colorful fish can be observed while snorkeling. The fish common in these waters include: angelfish, bannerfish, butterflyfish, stingrays, fusiliers, barracuda, puffer fish, snapper, and moray eels.   The Koh Mae Koh island, also called Mother Island, is among the most visited islands of the Ang Thong Marine Park. It offers a great view of the breathtakingly beautiful scenery of the entire park, and is also home to the Emerald Lake (a saltwater lagoon). There are stairs embedded into the natural surroundings that will take you to the top for a clear view. The top area is a great place for taking photos as well. You can come down using a different set of stairs that will take you straight to the water’s edge of the Emerald Lake so you can take in the towering cliffs as well.

At Ao Thong Nai Pan, you will have the chance to do many things, including water sports, relaxing Thai massages, or basking in the sun on the golden sand on the beach.   The final leg of the tour is a gentle cruise along Koh Phangans eastern coastline; there you can see the stunning coves, deserted beaches, and tropical jungles on your way back to Koh Samui.   While the boats are built with modern technology, they have all of the traditional Burmese junk boat’s charm in them. Their teak exteriors and square sails add a majestic touch that can be seen from far away. When travelling on a Chantara, you will be taken back in time to experience it in the same way as the locals have been experiencing and enjoying it for centuries.   And since the traveling will make you hungry, you will be served refreshments onboard.

This tour to Koh Nang Yuan (The Seagull Island) and Koh Tao (The Turtle Island) takes approximately 120 minutes (2 hours). The main reason for this is because Koh Tao is situated at a considerable distance from the mainland. Moreover, Koh Tao is surrounded by deep waters that ensure the greatest visibility in the entire Gulf of Thailand, making it an ideal place for snorkelers and scuba divers. Although Koh Tao is comparatively a small island, it is by no means lacking in attractions. It has several sites that are ideal for scuba diving and snorkeling, teeming with tropical marine life, exotic corals, and the greatest visibility underwater all year round.   Since a large ferry can only go to so many places in deep water from Koh Samui, there are still plenty of places for snorkeling in Koh Tao. These sites are famous not only for snorkeling, but also for some of the best coral formations around the world and the marine life that can be seen.   Although speedboats are faster and less crowded, ferries have their own advantages, including a more comfortable journey. In addition to that, the ferries are air-conditioned, more stable in water due to their size, and are recommended for people who tend to get sick on the sea. Since they are more spacious, they also have room for more staff on board, including professional photographers, multilingual tour guides, and lifeguards.   Half a kilometer away from Koh Tao is Koh Nang Yuan. This island is a paradise of three rocky outcrops that are connected to one another by the beach; they are also often featured in the media on Koh Samui. Koh Nang Yuan is a very beautiful island that has thousands of visitors every year, and it has still retained that charm over the years by not over developing.   There are two snorkeling sites on Koh Nang Yuan: The Japanese Garden, and The Twin Peaks. Both of these sites have beautiful coral landscapes, as well as a dense population of tropical marine life. Snorkeling in this area also provides great opportunities for taking some stunning photos under the water. If you want to recreate the famous photo that is featured in all the brochures, all you have to do is hike to Koh Nang Yuan’s viewpoint and click your camera.   It will take you about 45 minutes to walk to the view points, capture some stunning shots, and walk back down. If you feel adventurous, you can explore the area which includes features like a beautiful and delicate wooden walkway that is constructed around the same outcrop as the viewpoint of Koh Nang Yuan; if you go explore the walkway, it will take an additional 15 to 20 minutes.   Another interesting feature on Koh Nang Yuan is the zip lines that run between the outcrops. They cost only about 1,000 Baht per person, are super fun and thrilling, and also provide an excellent opportunity for photos.   And, finally, one of the most popular and obvious feature: the two beaches that connect the island together. There is also a bar on the beach, and although the prices are slightly expensive, they are not unreasonable and are what is considered normal for a tourist destination like this, so you can relax, chill, and enjoy a cocktail on the beach.   Pro Tip: If you want to avoid crowds, the ideal day for travelling is the day after the Full Moon Party in Koh Phangan, as most people will be resting at their hotels with hangovers.
