Laem Son National Park

Laem Son National Park is a coastal national park spanning Ranong and Phang Nga provinces in southern Thailand, with its main headquarters and visitor area in Kapoe District, Ranong. Established in 1983, it protects about 315 square kilometres of Andaman coastline, mangrove forests, beaches and offshore islands. Notable for its 60-kilometre undeveloped coastline, including Hat Bang Ben and Laem Son Beach, the park is valued for beach scenery, island boat trips, birdwatching and camping.

Visitors can expect a quiet coastal park with long sandy beaches, casuarina-lined shores, extensive mangrove forests and offshore islands in the Andaman Sea. The main headquarters area at Hat Bang Ben and Laem Son Beach offers swimming areas, viewpoints, nature trails and camping grounds. Offshore islands such as Ko Kam, Ko Khang Khao and Ko Yipun are accessible by boat for snorkeling and beach visits. Facilities are basic and nature-focused with visitor centre, bungalows and campsites surrounded by forest and sea.

Declared as a national park on 19 August 1983, covering approximately 315 square kilometres along the Andaman coast of Ranong and Phang Nga provinces. Established to protect the longest protected coastline in Thailand, including mangrove ecosystems, beach forests and offshore islands.

Represents the coastal and mangrove heritage of the Ranong region and supports traditional fishing communities around Kapoe and Suk Samran. The park is an important site for environmental education on mangrove conservation and coastal ecology.
