Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Coral areas at Koh Ma are fragile; use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid lotions that wash off in the water.
Carry small change
Some remote stops and park entrances accept only cash (e.g., 100 THB national park fee), so bring small bills.
Wear sturdy sandals
Beaches are mostly soft sand but accessing viewpoints or Koh Ma’s sandbar can involve slippery rocks and coral rubble.
Start early
Departing in the morning avoids midday heat and the thicker afternoon clouds that can reduce visibility for snorkeling.
