Ko Wua Ta Lap is the largest island in the archipelago of Mu Ko Ang Thong, a marine park in the Gulf of Thailand. It is the only island on which there is accommodation, with lovely bungalows and camping areas. The park’s head office is situated here. It is also the highest point in the islands and offers astonishing views over the area. Visitors may spot monkeys. The gorgeous, tiny beach is well kept, and from here travellers can enjoy swimming, diving, boat trips and exploring the marine park further. The islands are known for their other-worldly tropical scenery of bright blues and greens, which inspired the classic novel (and movie) ‘The Beach’.
