Ko Phaluai Off The Beaten Path

Koh Phaluai's eastern shore has possibly the best example of mangrove forest to be found in the park.
This forest type is important as a breeding area for hundreds of species of fish.
The smaller islands of Koh Tao Pun, Koh Mod Dang, Koh Lak, Koh Tu and Koh Kluai encircle Koh Phaluai. The locals of the island make a living from farming and fishing. Producing coconuts, rubber and a variety of fruits, the island is famous in this region for sun dried mullet and squid.
