Thailand has hundreds
of islands both in the Gulf of Thailand and in the Andaman
Sea. All of the islands of Thailand are coastal islands.
The central area of the Gulf of Thailand is free of islands,
so that Thailand has no islands located in the open sea
far from the coast. Formerly most of the islands in Thailand
were uninhabited, but in recent times many have been developed
as tourist resorts.
Some of the island groups in Thailand come in clusters
of numerous individual islands; Phang Nga bay has 67,
the Mu Ko Chang National Park has 52, Tarutao National
Marine Park has 51, and Mu Ko Ang Thong National Park
has 42. Owing to the large amount of islands in Thailand
the list below is not all-inclusive. |
