Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park
This is a marine national park established in 1983, covering approximately 388 square kilometres. It protects a diverse ecosystem of coral reefs and coastal landscapes. Travellers visit this area for snorkeling, swimming, and exploring the protected marine environment across its various islands and beaches.
Getting There
The park is located in Krabi Province. From Phuket city centre, visitors typically travel by road to the Krabi region and then use boats to access the marine areas of the park. The journey from Phuket to the park's access points generally takes several hours depending on the mode of transport and boat schedules.
Time Allocation
Depending on whether you are visiting a single beach or island-hopping through the marine park, allow at least one full day. Those planning to visit multiple islands and engage in snorkeling usually spend the entire day on the water.
When to Visit
The park is most accessible during the dry season. It becomes crowded during peak tourist months and around midday when tour boats arrive. Visiting in the early morning can help avoid the largest crowds.

- Ko Po Da Nok (8.1km)
