Ko Tarutao

Stopped at Ko Tarutao for the night. This island is between Ko Lipe and the mainland. It has a degree of notoriety among Thais due to its history as a prison during the World War II era. In fact, some Thais I spoke to expressed the sentiment that they would never stay here due to the spirits that inhabit the island.
Tarutao is a national park. There are no resorts, only a couple park service bungalows. The island is desolate and pristine. Here is a huge swatch of beach I walked across, encountering only one couple in over an hour.

And a beyond spectacular sunset!
