Ang Thong (Golden Basin) National
Marine Park
Ang Thong National Marine Park is made
up of 42 islands featuring lime stone massifs, tropical
rainforests and deserted beaches. This fascinating group
of islands, within sight of Samui to the north and west,
is geographically different from the other islands in
the region. The Ang Thong islands rise from the sea
as dramatic walls of rock soaring hundreds of metres
high. Besides the many small coves and beautiful beaches,
erosion has shaped some interesting formations. Particular
features are Mae Ko (a beautiful beach) and Thale Nai
(an emerald saltwater lake) both found on Ko Mae Ko.
Ko Sam Sao has a coral reef and a huge rock arch as
well as a hill providing great views of the surrounding
area. There is a considerable amount of wildlife inhabiting
the islands including the Asian long-tailed monkey (langur),
hair-nosed otters, pacific reef egrets, white-bellied
sea eagles, ashy drongos, tortoises, sea turtles, lizards
and pythons.The surrounding sea is also the major spawning
ground for the short-bodied mackerel, a tasty Thai delicacy.
Snorkelling, walking and swimming are the most poular
attractions of the region. The best time to visit this
archipelago is late March to October when visibility
is at its best. Get a few friends together and charter
a boat so that you can explore the marvels of the 'Golden
Basin' in your own time.
