Audio Guide of Mu Ko Chang National Park Viewpoint

Mu Ko Chang National Park is generally open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., although the roadside panoramic viewpoint at Kai Bae is accessible 24 hours a day. You can get there easily by renting a motorbike or taking a local taxi (songthaew) from any main beach; for more location details, see Thai National Parks.

Access to the scenic roadside viewpoint is completely free and perfect for quick photos. However, if you want to enter protected park areas such as the waterfalls, the fee is 200 THB for foreign adults and 100 THB for children.

To enjoy the viewpoint, take photos, and enjoy the breeze, about 20 to 30 minutes is enough. If you plan to combine it with a visit to Klong Plu Waterfall inside the park, we recommend allowing at least 2 hours.

Established in 1982, it is a marine national park that protects an archipelago of more than 50 islands and preserves pristine tropical rainforest that is crucial to the ecosystem. It is a vital sanctuary for coral reefs and wildlife and has turned the island into a leading ecotourism destination.

The best season is during the dry months, from November to February, to ensure clear skies. The magical time of day is undoubtedly sunset, when the sun sets over the neighboring islands and creates an unforgettable postcard view.

The main viewpoint, Kai Bae Viewpoint, is paved and wheelchair accessible from the parking area. However, the National Park’s internal trails to waterfalls and beaches are usually uneven and not suitable for visitors with reduced mobility.

You are very close to the famous Klong Plu Waterfall, ideal for a refreshing swim in fresh water. You can also continue south to visit Lonely Beach or the picturesque fishing village of Bang Bao with its pier over the water.

Bring mosquito repellent and protect your belongings from the local monkeys, which can be mischievous. We also suggest carrying cash for park entrance fees and water, as the tropical climate can be very humid.
