Information: Khao Phra Thaeo, with an area of 13,925 rai, encompasses a dozen areas of virgin forest and actively conserves a rich variety of wild animals, which would otherwise become extinct in fast-growing Phuket. Also, Khao Phra Thaeo abounds with fascinating forest vegetation, and myriad giant trees covered by creepers and climbers of every description, similar to a Tarzan movie set.

Especially rare is one species of palm called the Governor's Palm or White Back Palm ('pahm lahng kao' in Thai) found at Khao Phra Thaeo. Declared a wildlife sanctuary in July of 1969, Khao Phra Thaeo is home to many types of wild animals --langurs, barking deer, mouse deer, bear, wild boar, monkeys, gibbons, porcupines, macaques, reptiles, lizards and several species of birds, in an idyllic setting cooled by sonorous cascading waterfalls.

Information: These islands, declared as a National Marine Park in 1974, are amazing for their untouched beauty, seasonally clear waters and magnificent coral reefs. Tarutao itself offers lots of walking trails, which lead to waterfalls, caves, lookouts and isolated beaches. It is hard to believe, when surrounded by such beauty, that this place has a rather chequered history. In 1937 it was used as a penal colony for political prisoners; there are also many legends of clashes between park rangers, pirates, fishermen and poachers.
