Take a day trip back in time and see Thailand as it was before the tourism. Ang Thong National Marine Park is perfectly located for day trips from Koh Samui, Koh Tao and Koh Phangan. Mu Ko Ang Thong National Marine Park is renowned for inspiring Alex Garland to write “The Beach” which was adapted into the famous film featuring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Comprising 42 islands with looming limestone cliffs jutting dramatically out of the water, thick pristine jungle hiding secret lagoons and paradise beaches, you’ll soon see how this paradise influenced Garland and got his creative juices flowing. With so many islands working with the right boat charter company will see you avoiding the crowds and getting to enjoy the park almost all to yourself. Visit Talay Nai and the Emerald Lake, known as the “Blue Lagoon” from “The Beach” then head back to find some good snorkelling grounds near Ko Wao.

I will do everything I can to book again! We booked the 71ft catamaran for a hen/staguette party and it was perfect. Trampolines, awesome food, and great sailing. Perfect venue for a party. We were 15 but it could comfortably accommodate 30 for a proper party. Arrive job and early to fit in the entire allotted sailing time. Fantastic!

I booked a hotel to attend the full moon party on Koh Phangan. I was set to fly from Bangkok to Koh Samui the day of the party. I wouldn't be arriving in time to catch the last ferry to Phangan, but I didn't think it would be difficult to reserve a ride over on a private boat. Wifi was spotty and my phone was giving me trouble. After receiving bad news from the first two companies, I began to worry it might not be so easy after all. That was until I got ahold of Chris at Samui Luxury Boat Rental. He quickly assured me that he was able to reserve a boat for me at my desired time. Chris went above and beyond to set my mind at ease. He requested my flight information, so that he could have a driver waiting at the airport to pick me up. When I arrived the driver was already there. We drove to the dock, where I was surprised to see that Chris himself was there to greet me. The boat was very clean and well maintained. Not only did Chris fulfill every promise he made, he even rode with me to insure when I got to Phangan that I would know where to go and what to do. I HIGHLY recommend this company. Excellent service, less expensive than the first two companies who couldn't accommodate, and a great boat. I hope I make it back to this part of the world, and if I do, Chris should be expecting a call. Thanks Chris. If it weren't for you I wouldn't have made it. If I could give your company 10 stars, I would.

ang thong national marine park, Ang Thong National Marine ParkA wonderful experience! Very simple organisation with Chris who was patient in answering my questions and arranging payment via a payment link. On the day of the trip rain was expected so the waters were a bit choppy but we were immediately put at east with with Captain Ton, Ya and India! The team were friendly and attentive. We did the marine park tour, which included a luxury speedboat that to my teens delight, had blue tooth so they could play music! We first went to Koh Wao to snorkel which was a fantastic experience. Ya came into the sea with us and ensured we were safe showing us lots of fish, and marine life. We then went to marine parks and climbed to the top to see the emerald lake. It was a 500 m climb and quite busy with lots of tourist but well worth it to see the view! We then cruised to a nearby fisherman village and had a lovely seafood lunch which was delicious and really authentic. As we arrived it started to rain but we were perfectly covered and dry. Once the rain ended and we had finished eating, we then went to a nearby secluded island to swim where we were the only people to be found. We floated and swam with our music in the distant background adding to the overall magic as our day came to an end. By the time we got back on the boat, we were exhausted but exhilarated at the great experience!
