About Mu Ko Surin National Park

Mu Ko Surin National Park
 

Mu Ko Surin National Park, located in the Andaman Sea off the coast of southern Thailand, boasts an impressive array of marine biodiversity and stunning coral reefs. Established in 1981, the park encompasses five islands and surrounding ocean areas, making it a prime destination for underwater enthusiasts. The park is home to diverse species, including sea turtles, reef sharks, and colorful fish species. The islands themselves offer lush rainforest ecosystems that support unique wildlife. Historically, the park is also home to a community of indigenous Moken people who have lived in harmony with the sea for generations. Visitors are drawn to the park's clear waters for snorkeling and diving activities, as well as hiking trails through tropical rainforests on the islands. Popular sites like Richelieu Rock, a world-renowned dive site, add to the park’s draw for nature lovers and adventurers.
