Mu Ko Chumphon National Park

It's a place with good air And a nice sightseeing and learning

Unlike the mangrove parks which tend to be only a short walk, this park has a winding boardwalk system where you can explore the unique setting on both sides of the river. Worth going out of your way to experience this

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.

This place was such a great surprise! Beautiful mangroves and walkways with lots of animals and fish throughout. Finished the walk with the most beautiful sunset ever on a full moon! Definitely a must see in Chumphon!

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.

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.

There is around 1000 monkeys in the park. We were too scared to go through the park, so a local guide came with us. THANK YOU SO MUCH! :) we loved it, it’s really beautiful and peaceful (we were the only visitors at that time). The entrance fee is 200 BTH and I think it’s worth it!

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

Walkpath was broken when we visited. But that doesnt mean you shouldnt go. Just visit the little villages close to the mangroves. Really kind people who showed us the horseshoecrabs, witch they eat there. Saw a lot of cool animals like mudskippers (airbreathing fishes), collared kingfishers and even had the luck to see a saltwater crocodile.

A fantastic way to experience a mangrove forest. The raised walkways allow you to see life both at ground level and in the treetops. Plenty of wildlife to see, and great views of the river delta and Gulf of Thailand too. There were a lot of monkeys but they didn't pay any attention to us as they were happily eating crabs! There is also an information centre here, where the staff can advise you of other places to see in the area and there are animal skeletons too. It's an easy hour walk, which can be made shorter if needed, and the only climbing is a few stops into the bridge, otherwise it is all on one level. Suitable for any footwear or lower levels of fitness and children.

Great Place to have a nature walk & listen to the sound that is made by water in the mud holes...

Beautiful mangrove forest! 900 meters walk on a built wood deck. Entrance fee for Tourists is 200 baht, and for locals 40 baht.

Green area, lovely to visit to love our nature more.

Nice stopover for few hours walk through mangroves as well as for camping. Quite helpful staff and all facilities well maintained. Day time ( beginning of April) it was humid, night turned out to be a pleasant mild weather with breeze. Don't forget to bring mosquitoe repellent.

Great National Park. Unspoilt views and very peaceful.

Peaceful place - An awesome place to do my landscape photography-

Amazing Marine lives. All the snorkeling and diving spots have different varieties of corals and fish. I've been to these islands several times and I love it everytime 🤩
