We did a full day trip on a speed boat, it was excellent, the snorkeling was amazing, I would probably would give the emerald lake a miss if climbing ladder-steep steps for 15-20 min is too much, as it was very very hot (it is winter here) but well worth a visit, I am so glad we did it! Massages are cheap enough here that the sore thighs didn’t last long ???? The marine park is a visual wonder above & below the water. Inexperienced people can still snorkel over amazing corals surrounded by brilliantly coloured schools of fish & marine life (not a shark in sight ????). Lunch at one of the the islands restaurants is recommended to see the original lifestyle of the local people, and the huge buffet of food was delicious. The only thing I might change was the length of the tour, we were off at 8am from the pier at big Buddha beach & back at about 5.30pm, it was a long day , but we saw heaps in that time. We even stopped at the rangers island & saw wild monkeys. The crew were lovely, but all heavy smokers, the smell kind of detracted from the pristine snorkeling environment.. The return trip in the speedboat-due to the ocean swell was very rough (I have butt bruises to prove it! ????), but I sat at the front end of the boat so that was caused by my position... All in all it was great fun & definitely worth doing. For those with back issues I would recommend the larger boats for a smoother ride home.
3. Khao Sok National Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,356 reviews
This is one of Thailand's most popular parks for foreign visitors but at the same time is unspoiled and uncrowded. The national park is home to a number of eco-resorts offering room, food, and tours. The park is includes a large rainforest and exception steep limestone mountains. There are also rivers and waterfalls. Tours include jungle treks, elephant experience, kayaking and tubing on the river. The most popular tour in the area is to the Rajaprapa reservoir, also known as Khao Sok Lake. Here guests can sleep on rafthouses at the edge of the jungle and enjoy kayaking, birdwatching, and hiking in pristine forest. Day trips are also available. In addition to observing numerous tropical birds including majestic hornbills, Asian buffalo and elephants are often seen, and tapirs and other jungle animals more rarely. The area can be reached easily from airports in Phuket (2 hours away) and Surathani airport (1.5 hours away).

If you want adventure, go with a tour through here. We spent two days in different areas of this park, and thoroughly enjoyed the canoe ride up through the river to see wildlife, plus the 1 1/2 days in the National Park, being taken over the lake in a Longtail boat, to amazing acomo on this lake, and some hiking into the waterfall, plus more rides on the Longtail boat to view wildlife.With the tour we took we had an excellent guide - Ot - who looked after us so well. (there were only 3 of us so got full on attention).

Absolutely beautiful beach!! Gentle waves, beautiful sand, crystal clear water. A few small massage huts and little restaurants on the beach, but it's so quiet, so tranquil, so peaceful. Shade in the afternoon great for kids. Little village at the end of the beach has a few local restaurants, mini marts, laundry, a few souvenir shops. Very stunning, quiet and relaxed part of the world, it's so beautiful!

You reach this small island by a longtail boat from Koh Samui. Go to Thongkrut (The TongKrut Pier Restaurant) and ask for a longtail boat to Koh Tan. They will bring you there and pick you up after your wish to go back. At Koh Tan there is restaurants and you can enjoy good Thai food (fresh fish). The island is mainly rocks but there is a beach where you can walk along the sea. There are only around people living on Koh Tan and it is unspoiled from mass tourist still!On the island is wild buffalo's and wild boars.The people there are very open and friendly. A monk is living in a small Wat which you can visit if you take the walk along the beach. village. It is a small, largely spool island, known for its coral and marine life. Giant clams, fan corals and a wide variety of fish species live in and around the protected reefs. Koh Tan can be reached by local long tail fishing boat. Trips generally include snorkeling on the reef, a stop at one of the island’s fine beaches, and a walk along the wooden platform that was built by the locals to view the mangrove forests.

I’ve been to Lamai, Chaweng and Bang Po - Bang Po really stood out for me compared to the others. Both Chaweng and Lamai are very touristy, the sand colour is yellow. Bang Po is far quieter, less touristy, more secluded and the sand is whiter. The ocean colour is teal and the water is very warm with no waves

We made the time to stop here and it was great. Easy to get to from Chewang on scooters and simple to park at the top. Stairs are pretty easy to walk up and once at the top the views are amazing. As other have said go easy before the tours or go Late once everyone has finished for the day. Highly recommended.
