Hat Wanakorn National Park

What we say:

Continuing south the next point of interest is a semi-recently created (1995) National Marine Park. It is Thailand's smallest at 38 sq km of which 23 sq km is coastal scrub and woodland and 15 sq km of marine environment including the two small offshore islands of Ko Chai and Ko Thaisi. The woods are nice for walking in and contain a wide variety of birdlife whilst the pristine beach is great for swimming. North of the park headquarters is a rocky coastal section where you can do a bit of snorkelling if the water is clear. Further on, some 4km from the park buildings is Ao Makha where rocky headlands offer good cliff top viewpoints. Park entrance fee is minimal, food vendors and shops are situated near the park buildings but if you want to stay here, you'll have to bring a tent.

More details

How to get there: The park entrance, clearly marked in English is 23km south of Prachuap Khiri Khan off highway 4, then a 3km road takes you down to the beach and park offices. Some basic information is available in English. If you have no transport take any southbound bus and ask to be let off at Wanakorn Then you will have to walk the remaining 3km.
