secluded beaches, Tham Bua Bok - a beautiful cave with spectacular
stalactite and stalagmite formations, and an emerald saltwater
lake known as Tale Nai on Ko Mae Ko, which entails a strenuous
climb. Another popular venue is Ko Sam Sao where an extensive
span of coral reef and huge rock arch offers scenic views.
A one-day tour package to Mu Ko Ang Thong is organised by
some travel agents on Ko Samui.
