Mu Ko Lanta National Park is a pristine marine park situated in the Krabi province of Thailand, covering several districts including the notable Lanta Island or Ko Lanta. Encompassing an area of 152 square kilometers, the park is celebrated for its diverse ecosystems, which include lush mangrove forests, coral-fringed islands, and clear emerald waters. The archipelago comprises a cluster of 52 islands, with the larger Ko Lanta Yai serving as a tourist hub, known for its beautiful beaches, serene atmosphere, and luxurious resorts. The terrain varies from tropical rainforests to rugged hills, offering visitors a variety of landscapes to explore. The park's headquarters are located at the southern end of Ko Lanta Yai, where tourists can indulge in activities such as hiking to the lighthouse, snorkeling, and observing diverse wildlife, especially the monitor lizards and macaques. The area's rich marine life also makes it a popular spot for scuba diving with several dive sites in proximity. Mu Ko Lanta is a beacon for conservation, protecting the habitat of the endangered dugong and a nesting area for sea turtles.
