Established in 1974, Tarutao Marine National Park covers an area of 1,490 square kilometers in the far south of Thailand off the coast of the Andaman Sea in Satun Province. It consists of 51 islands in two groups; The Tarutao Group to the east and the Adang-Rawi Group to the west. There are three archipelagos in the park; Tarutao Archipelago, Klang Archipelago and Adang Archipelago. The name of the park is derived from "Palau Tirtao" which means "Old Island" in Thai.
