Angthong National Park & Kayaking Experience by Big Boat or Speedboat | Samui
2026/09/06
Nice park to visit and food on boat is decent. Comes with light snacks n drinks too. Requires some level of mobility to transfer from big boat to long tailboat to get to the islands which can be abit challenging for some. Speedboat will bring you directly to the platforms of the islands. You can enjoy several hikes on the park and get to swim n kayak ard the islands.
