  Population : 49400 ------------------------------- The park comprises some 40 islands northwest of Ko Samui covering some 250sqkm (97sqmi) of which 50sqkm (19sqmi) is land mass. The most attractive islands include Ko Wua Talap (Sleeping Cow island), Ko Mae Ko (Mother island), Ko Prayat (Economical island), Ko Sam Sao (Tripod island), Ko Nai Pud (Mr Pud's island), and Ko Wua Teh (Kicking Cow island). Most islands are limestone masses reaching heights of up to 400m (1313ft), fringed by beaches and tropical rain forest. The park office is on Ko Wua Talap where bungalow-style accommodation is available. Popular sites include Hat Chan Charat (Moonlight Beach), a high viewpoint and the Tham Bua Bok (Wating Lotus Cave, named after spectacular stalactite and stalagmite formations). An emerald saltwater lake known as Thale Nai on Ko Mae Ko is the park's major attraction; to reach it requires a strenuous climb, but the resultant view is well worth the effort. Angthong originally known as Muang Wiset Chai Chan, is located no the Noi River. According to the Royal Chronicle of Ayutthaya, Angthong was an essential frontier outpost of Ayutthaya when fighting with the Burmese. In particular during the last war,the Burmese encamped at Muang Wiset Chai Chan to attack Ayutthaya causing "the Battle at Bang Rachan" in Singburi the most important event ever recorded in Thai history. Later during the Thonburi period, Muang Wiset Chai Chan was moved to a new site on the left bank of the Chao Phraya River at Ban Bangkaeo and was named "Muang Angthong" since its new location was a fertile basin similar to a water and rice bowl of the country. According to traditional belief, any region which is rich in rice and fish would be similarly a treasure city filling up with silver and gold. Angthong is located 108 kilometers from Bangkok, and 35 kilometers from Ayutthaya. Topographically almost all of the Angthong area is low plain without any forests or mountains. There are two important rivers : the Chao Phraya River and the Noi River. Angthong is administratively divided into 7 districts; Amphoe Muang Angthong, Wiset Chai Chan, Chaiyo, Pho Thong, Sawaengha, Pa Mok and Samko. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
