Tarutao Travel Guide

Tarutao is a national park that has not been spoilt by development. It includes the incredible Butang Islands, some of the most beautiful unspoiled islands in Asia. These offer fantastic diving and snorkeling but are very difficult to travel to and have poor facilities.

Out of season it is almost impossible to visit, and in season there are too few bungalows for the visitors that come, so you may end up sleeping on the beach.

There is talk that a new daily ferry service will start to operate in December from the nearby island of Langkawi, which will make these islands far more accessible.
