Ang Thong Marine Park

On Tuesday we spent the day out at Ang Thong. It is an archipelago of 60 or so islands to the north west of Samui.

It was meant to take an hour on the boat to get there but it was choppy as hell so it took another 25mins to get to the first stop, Koh Wa Yai. Check this map, it’s up the top. Here we caught up with a few other boats and went snorkling for about 50mins. It was pretty rad. Not a whole lot of wow fishies and the corals seemed to be quite plain. Good fun tho that snorkling business.

From there we cruised south between the small islands.

From there we went onto Koh Mae Koh to the Talay Nai which is a lake inside a mountain. Meant to be fed by the sea with a series of tunnels thru the rock. To get up there we had to walk a rad path that was a heap of ladders tbh. Check how steep.
