Practical
Coordinate is a representative point in the park near James Bond Island, not a fee office. Published rates differ. Thai National Parks gives 300 THB per adult and 150 THB per child aged 3–14 for foreigners (June 2022). Wikivoyage gives 300 / 100 THB (July 2018). The Southeast Asia Pilot quotes 400 THB per person per day (undated) and 500 THB per person to land on Khao Phing Kan. In January 2025 a cruising yacht paid 300 THB per person, cash, to rangers who came alongside, on a receipt valid for five days. Verify locally, carry cash and keep the receipt. Thai National Parks lists the park as open 15 October to 15 May; confirm with the park whether any SW-season restrictions apply to yachts.
