Nice walk along the coastline with a safe and well built boardwalk. The only downside is that you must go back by the same way, unless you want to walk for 3 Km and go around the hill.
Just 10 minutes by car from Pak Bara Pier, Mu Ko Phetra National Park offers a lovely coastal walkway through 550 million years of Earth’s history. Ancient rocks, fossils, and sea cliffs reveal deep geological time, making an easy walk both scenic and quietly awe-inspiring.
If you come during the off season and the island aren’t open then the only thing to do is the path near the ocean. The nature trail is closed and over grown.
Mu Ko Phetra National Park is a striking coastal and marine park located in Satun Province, southern Thailand, overlooking the Andaman Sea. Established in 1984, the park covers more than 490 square kilometers of land and sea, protecting a diverse ecosystem of limestone islands, mangrove forests, sandy beaches, and rich coral reefs. The name “Phetra” comes from a Malay word meaning “rock,” reflecting the dramatic karst formations that rise sharply from the sea. One of the park’s highlights is its archipelago of islands, including Ko Lidi, Ko Khai, and Ko Talibong, each offering pristine scenery and clear waters ideal for snorkeling and diving. The reefs support colorful corals, reef fish, and other marine life, while dugongs are occasionally spotted feeding on seagrass beds in the surrounding waters. On land, the park features quiet beaches, coastal forests, and mangroves that serve as important nurseries for marine species. Mu Ko Phetra is also known for its peaceful atmosphere, as it remains less crowded than many famous Andaman destinations. Visitors can enjoy boat trips, island hopping, kayaking through mangroves, and nature photography. With its unspoiled landscapes and rich biodiversity, Mu Ko Phetra National Park offers a rewarding escape for travelers seeking natural beauty and tranquility in southern Thailand.
A great place for dusky langurs, geology, and beauty! Definitely worth visiting and I’m glad there’s a lower price for Thai people.
