Surrounding Location:
General Activities
Hat Thai Muang
Where Wanakarn is located, is a spectacular stretch of sand, 13 kilometers long with clear water and an adjacent golf course. From November to February, sea turtles come to lay their eggs on the beach. As a result, local inhabitants customarily go view the turtles on moonlit nights.
Coral Reefs
The best reefs in Thailand are those surrounding the Similan and Surin Islands, now a world-famous dive destination. Here the variety of hard corals is especially good, and amongst them is an amazing variety of fish life – small, colourful fish that arise from the coral in brilliant swarms.
Phang-nga's Andaman coast
offers parks of a different kind. The island groups of Surin and Similan are renowned for their beautiful unspoilt beaches and spectacular underwater scenery, attracting divers from around the world.
Phang-nga Bay National Park
