About Koh Phaluai

Koh Phaluai is the biggest island in the Ang Thong archipelago and the only one with a permanent fishing community. The fringing reef around the island offers casual snorkeling, though the water can be murkier near the inhabited areas. It provides an interesting cultural contrast to the uninhabited islands in the park.
