Tarutao National Park

Beautiful Stop on the Way to Koh Lipe We stopped at Tarutao National Park on our way from Pak Bara Pier to Koh Lipe Island, and it was a really pleasant surprise. The island is peaceful, clean, and surrounded by crystal-clear water with beautiful natural scenery. Even though our stop was short, the atmosphere was very relaxing. The beach is quiet, the water is calm, and you can truly feel the untouched nature of the national park. It’s a great place to take photos, stretch your legs, and enjoy the sea breeze before continuing the journey. Highly recommended as a stopover if you’re traveling to Koh Lipe. A beautiful reminder of Thailand’s well-preserved natural heritage 🌿🏝️

Stayed overnight in Tarutao National Park. We rented a bungalow with air conditioning for 1,500 THB per night. Electricity on the island runs from 6 p.m. to midnight. In the evening we were served dinner — simple but delicious. The place is incredibly atmospheric and peaceful. Langurs and hornbills live right next to the bungalow — amazing to watch them in the wild!

The 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!

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic national park, possibly Thailand's best with dense thick rain forests and untouched beaches, lovely scenery and many different birds and other wildlife, but there are a few cons. The woman working at Ao Talu Wao is very angry and unfriendly. She told us to put our tent on the grass near the pier, but in the morning she shouted at us saying we shouldn't put our tent on the grass but on the cement! Nuts! Then she started shouting at other people including children! Another incident was being over charged more than once at the visitor centre restaurant to know that it's a scam as the second time I noticed she didn't even check the bill until we caught her out. Also the woman working at shop is the most miserable person in Thailand, unfriendly and just rude. We watched her work, she is unfriendly to all customers. Obviously she doesn't want to be there. Nevermind I guess.....nature is why we came.

the sea is amazing and the islands peaceful
