"Koh Samui Kayak Camp" (Angthong National
Park)
| Angthong
National Marine Park.
Angthong National Marine park is an archipelago in the Gulf
of Thailand consisting of 42 separate islands. The principle
islands are Phaluai, Wau T a Lap, Mea Ko, Sam Sao, Hin Dap,
Nai Phudh, and Phai Luak. All the island occur in Angthong
of Koh Samui, Suratthani. The park covers a total area of
102 km2 of which about only 18 km 2 is island. The National Park
does not encompass the entire island chain, but its jurisdiction
covers about 82% of the total area. The park was established
on 12th November 1980.
The area of the Gulf of Thailand in which the islands are
situated is at maximum 10 meters deep. The island rises up
out of the water, and is thus surrounded by relatively water.
This means that the water is greatly influenced by turbid
river water from the mainland. The river water does not encounter
deep water that reduces its velocity, and thus it can carry
the sediment to settle. The water around the Island is thus
fairly turbid all year round. The coral development on the
island is not extensive and is restricted to a narrow band
encircling each island close to the shore, especially on the
Southwest sides. Although the Northwestern side of the island
is the area most influenced by the monsoon, good coral develops
in the sheltered spots, especially elephant coral. Thus, there
is an abundance of brain coral, stags horn coral, and, in
deeper waters, there are plate and flower corals (genus Panova
and Goniopora). Animals found
include Butterfly fish, Angel fish, Parrot fish, Sunray, Black
tip shark, Grouper and cowries shells.
