The story behind the place

Ko Tapu is a distinctive limestone sea stack beside Khao Phing Kan in Ao Phang Nga National Park. Its broad, rugged upper rock and much narrower base give it an extraordinary silhouette. Cracks and erosion have helped shape the column. Look for the small patches of vegetation finding a foothold high above the water.
