Description
Tarutao National Park is a fascinating protected area off the coast of southern Thailand, encompassing 51 islands in the Andaman Sea. A paradise for lovers of wildlife and history.
The park is famous for its beautiful beaches, like the 3-kilometer-long Ao Son, where sea turtles lay their eggs. Explore the park's only Luu Doo waterfall or take a boat ride to the mysterious Crocodile Cave (Jorakae Cave).
The site hides a dark history - a former political prison in Ao Talo Wao and Ao Talo Udang. The rich fauna includes langurs, macaques, wild boars and more than 100 species of birds, including eagles and hornbills.

Javiera Soto Aranda8 years agoThe nature in the park is something unique, you can relax and enjoy great views and beach but there is a lot of rubbish around and that is a shame... Some much plastic from the other island!
Even the weather wasn't too good we really enjoy our stay here, we saw monkey wild, birds and a lot of different insect. The staff is lovely, they help you in everything you need and the food in the restaurant is delicious!
Adrian Dziaduszek6 years agoIsland definitely worth seeing. It is small, no fancy hotels. You won't find any accomododation on popular sites like booking. You can prebook online at park site, but it is easier to do it while you arrive. You can choose from tents through bungalows to ac small houses. We choosed it for its empty beaches and quietness. It is a National Park so there are two restaurants and one small shop. It is wise to buy things in advance on land, keeping in mind that electricity is available only in certain hours. So avoid things that spoil quick or attract bugs or monkeys 😂. You can rent a decent mtb bike and make your climb to the even more remote parts of the Island. I recommend seeing old prison and remote beaches, renting kayaks. On the down side it is an Island so everyday ocean washes up tons of garbage. But it is to be expected sadly. Still i recommend it. If you like active traveling, this is place for You. It is easy accesible from Pak Bara pier.
Natthasith Kupsathianwong8 years agoI love the forest and mountain here. Very quite, peaceful and refreshing. Kayaking along the mangrove forest to the crocodile cave is amazing. Au Son has great sunset spot (and also great seafood). At the end of Au Son beach, there is a magnificent panoramic view of the mountain and forest.Related categories
