The Ang Thong National Marine Park was established in the year 1980. Koh Mae Koh or Mother Island is a must to visit. There is a swimming beach as well as the stunning Thale Noi, a wide turquoise saltwater lake bordered by sheer cliffs. This is the golden basin that gives the islands their name. From Koh Samui a couple of tour operators run day trips to the park. Tours depart daily in the high season, less frequently in the rainy season.
