Tarutao National Park

Nice island, it used to be natural jail before. You can visit only high season, they close on rainy season. Because of safety reason. Foreigner have to pay for entry fee since Pakbara pier, price is higher than Thai people.

I 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.

Island 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.

Fantastic place to camp and relax.

I went to Lipe Island last week, one of famous island in this national park of Thailand in Andaman sea. There're many island that you can visiting by ferry or speed boat from Satun Province. I really love Lipe and coral are fantastic. White sand with clear water is the haven for traveller.

Compulsory stop at Tarutao (Tertua - Malay) National Park before heading to Koh Lipe. Nice place to snap few pictures.

Beautiful place, the ferry stopped on the way to koh lipe and despite having been here before I was still impressed.

So beautiful place and this is the first place to get there when we go to Lipe island.

Very nice area for diving, world class soft and hard corals, rich underwater life. We saw big schools of all kinds of coral fish, sea snake, barracuda, sea turtle and much more in last four dives. Many islands with secluded beaches, great snorkeling, everything you dream of in terms of underwater adventure.

Just passing by from Lipe , Love the views we had from our boat, We will come back to visit the Island next time

Amazing beach to stop by on the way to Koh Li Pe. Legend has it if you stand under the cave rock formation with your partner it adds 50 years to your relationship :)

Best place to snorkeling at south Thailand and near fro Malaysian tourist.

Well maintained, excellent paved paths. The Local Park Rangers are doing an excellent job of maintaining the place for all to enjoy. Lots to see and do.
