Before swimming check the depth, temperature and current and be careful around the edge of the water.
Do not take your pets. Pets can scare or kill native animals; even the scent and sounds of dogs and cats are enough to scare off native wildlife.
Take all your rubbish and litter home. Leaving rubbish in a bin can encourage animals to rely on human food.
Leave plants, animals, rocks, shells and soil as you find them. Stay on the track if there is one. Disturbing rocks and soil puts the lives of animals and plants at risk and ruins their habitats.
Do not stand on corals or kick coral with fins, they are alive!

I would say that any trip to Thailand would go incomplete without a visit to the Ang Thong National Marine Park. This package from Thrillophilia boils the best features of the place in one. We were taken across several of the main islands and spent a fair bit of time by the beaches. I’m definitely looking forward to going back. My family and I really enjoyed our time at Ang Thong Park. Apart from the island tours, we also swam and snorkeled a bit. Looking forward to our next experience with the Thrillophilia team!

It was only because of Thrillophilia that I could explore the famous Ang Thong National Marine Park. Their tickets were affordable, and had a lot of inclusions too. We explored a lot of islands, enjoyed hiking, kayaking and snorkelling too. Would love to come back again.
