Koh Pha Ngan: The Trilogy Episode III

Our last day in Koh Pha Ngan was spent in Ang Thong Marine Park. The park a group of more than 40 islands that are protected and therefore uninhabited. The day included snorkeling, kayaking, and a hike up to Emerald Lake. It is a salt water lake connected to the ocean only through underground canals, but is otherwise completely encircled in limestone cliffs. Swimming is prohibited in the lake and it definitely has an untouched beauty. Portions of the movie "The Beach" were filmed in the islands, including Emerald Lake which was featured as the Blue Lagoon. My previous posts have been so wordy I want to keep it limited here. I think the natural beauty can speak for itself.

First stop: snorkeling

Second Stop: Kayaking

After the disappointing dives of the previous day this was the perfect way to finish up a week on Koh Pha Ngan.
