Best way to see angthong NP from samui

[Sydneycraig]

Best way for 2 people...And any companies offering resident discounts?

Don't mind slower boats or groups but those speedboats with 40 ppl packed in don't appeal ...

Seatran were advertising that the park would be open sometime this week, around the 25th I think. They have the nice boats.

If you have the means, charter your own boat ...... go stay, leave, arrive as you like.

Seatrans Discovery is a first class boat. Not cheap. If you work in the hospitality industry here talk to their sales staff about a discount or familiarization trip (the latter probably only available to hotel management and activities staff).

Grandsea Adventure Tours, also has the multi - people boats, around 2000 baht PP. Probably a discount if you don't require pick up and drop off service!

I believe GS offers a private boat service ... but will be expensive for just two people... They have offices in Maenam on Soi 4 toward the water (traffic light) also in office Banrak. Go and inquire!

Entrance few to the park is 200 baht per person unless changed since October... It's a whole different world in the Marine park

Really it is not that bad on the boats, I always find sitting in the back is best!

for some pics look at post 558 > in photo section!

Samui boat charter in Fisherman's village does Anthong trip. Not cheap, but they only take about 12-14 people on a boat built for 3 times that. About 4,000THB per person I think. Includes drinks, snacks and lunch

100 degrees east tour company also do vip trips

with limited people

rated very highly

blue stars kayaking is also a good trip if you like some extra kayaking

I just found out today, that the entrance fee to the Marine Park is now 300 baht... added to the boat fees for which ever company one uses to get there...

Currently we are still in "high season" so prices are up with the boat companies ...!

It's a beautiful and worth while trip... and as popular as ever!
