A well deserved holiday taken before the covid pandemic strike us back in 2019. I clearly remember it was well before the raining season in Thailand somewhere in May. While heading up north of the country I managed to make a stopover at one of the National park in the Southern region of Thailand as well as a visit to Chumphon district. I practically spend the entire day at the Mu Ko National park. A mangrove forest or better known as wetlands, let me tell you this; don't miss out on this fabulous park. It is simply awesome and breathe taking with nature at it's best, plenty to enjoy, sounds of birds and wildlife, it is amazing. Either you travel in a chartered tour or on your on, makes little different. The park closes at 6pm local time daily and admission is 200 bahts for adults, children pay half the price. Come early if you intend to have a fun filled day and come handy with plenty of fluids, some food or snacks and insects repellent and an umbrella. Remember to wear shoes instead of scandal to avoid injuries. There could be changes primarily after they reopen, the above information is based on events back in 2019 so don't expect everything to be the same. Best of luck and enjoy your day.

Another wonderful Park. A must visit there is a excellent trial that's marked and even access to the Island.

First time in Mu Ko Chumphon National Park but failed... Storming day so I can't enjoy snorkeling :( so I just walk around in the national park enjoy nature to find some aquatic animals. Enjoy the wave!! Super fun with the wave at Mu Ko Chumphon National Park~

Xenophobic/racist pricing as usual. Doesnt seem to be worth the drive anyway - viewing tower, mangrove walk and a bridge is about all there is. Instead of taking the right at the final crossroads before you arrive at the ticket checkpoint, take the left instead, this goes up to a great viewpoint where the national park accommodation is (free).

If you want to learn about mangroves and their value to the world welcome! That’s a right place! Peaceful, filled with sounds of nature and wildlife you can only find here it is a great place to recreate and unite with Mother Nature. Blue crabs, pacific swallow, pied kingfisher, indo-Chinese roller and a special fish that can walk on a ground -all you can find here.

it was ok. .you can spent couple houres here. staffs was so nice

There is entrance fee. Inside has small museum and you can walk through the mangrove forest. Boat service for snorkeling (day trip) also available. Very quiet and peaceful.

I give this national park a 5 star because I really love seeing other countries protecting their natural environment. The area which you can see and walk around is small which means it's friendly to all ages and physical capabilities. Anyone can come except wheelchairs. I saw a mudskipper and some fish in the waterway. The mangroves where beautiful. The information at the visitors center is educational. I also saw them drying out a porpoise skeleton to put in a display. I learned about new animals and plants I never heard of before. Some signs are in English. Most only Thai, but there are pictures on those signs so I could see what they were explaining just couldn't read about it. Would be nice to have these in English as well. None the less, I really enjoyed seeing this place and contributing my 200 baht to the conservation efforts and keeping this place protected.
