Time neededFull day
Best timeNovember to April, 7am start
CostFrom THB 1,200 (longtail)
The sandbar between Tup and Mor islands appears for a few hours a day and is one of those things you have to see to believe. Snorkelling is decent, beaches are excellent.
How to visit it well
- Go on a private longtail, not a shared speedboat.
- Check the tide table — the sandbar only works at low tide.
- Bring cash for the national park fee (THB 400).
