Ao Manao-Khao Tanyong National Park

Ao Manao-Khao Tanyong National Park is a coastal national park in Mueang Narathiwat District, Narathiwat Province, southern Thailand. Established in 1991, it covers about 38 square kilometers along the Gulf of Thailand. The park is notable for Ao Manao Beach, the forested Khao Tanyong hill, mangrove forests, small offshore islands and diverse coastal ecosystems combining beach, mountain and forest landscapes.

Visitors can expect a compact coastal park centered on the curved sandy Ao Manao Beach backed by casuarina trees and the forested Khao Tanyong hill. The area includes a viewpoint on Khao Tanyong offering views of the bay and Narathiwat town, mangrove boardwalks, small islands visible offshore, and forested trails. Facilities are basic and focused on nature sightseeing, beach relaxation, photography and short hikes within a quiet, natural coastal setting.
