Southern Thailand’s beautiful Mu Ko Lanta National Park reopens to visitors on 15 October 2022 following its annual restoration. Nearby Pimalai Resort & Spa has announced immersive, small-scale excursions to two of the region’s most idyllic islands – Koh Haa and Koh Rok.
Every year, this tropical wonderland is closed for six months to allow its delicate ecology to be refreshed and replenished. Pimalai Resort & Spa fully supports the closure and works with local authorities to protect and preserve the area.
Mu Ko Lanta National Park is a breathtaking natural paradise – 134 square kilometres of turquoise waters, unspoiled islands, hidden coves and captivating coastlines in southern Thailand’s Krabi province.
The Koh Haa Snorkelling & Sunset adventure transports travellers to Koh Haa (Five Islands) – a captivating collection of limestone islets that enclose an aquamarine lagoon, a vibrant coral reef and a white sandy beach. The perfect spot for an afternoon of swimming and snorkelling. On the leisurely boat ride back to Pimalai, passengers are served canapés and cool drinks, including wine and beer, as the sun sets over the Andaman Sea.
The Fabulous Koh Rok tour is a scenic one-hour boat trip to Koh Rok, a pair of islands lined with sandy beaches lapped by warm, crystal-clear waters. Following an hour of swimming and snorkelling, guests are treated to a delicious onboard lunch before embarking on a sightseeing cruise around Koh Rok, with more opportunities to swim and explore the underwater world.
“At Pimalai, we feel a deep connection with Mu Ko Lanta National Park and a deep responsibility to preserve it for future generations. That’s why we conduct regular coastal clean-up activities, do not allow motorised water sports and only permit small-scale, eco-sensitive excursions in the area. We are delighted to invite our conscientious guests to explore this pristine paradise when it reopens this October. Following five months of replenishing rains and no human interference, this idyllic area will be looking more breath-taking than ever,” said Charintip Tiyaphorn, Pimalai’s Owner Representative.
Pimalai’s fleet of seven boats are all skippered by professional captains who have a deep knowledge of the local area.
Pimalai is featuring Early Bird Promotions with discounts of 10 to 30 percent on bookings through to 31 October 2023. Rates commence at THB6652 (approximately AUD270) per night including daily breakfast and a roundtrip Krabi Airport transfer for two people.
