Royal Thai Navy Third Fleet Turtle Nursery, Phang Nga Province, Thailand

4.5 (560 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #6 in Phang Nga Province Observatories & Planetariums

This was a really good visit

This was a really good visit, to see the protected turtles. Admission is 60 THB. The project consists of a series of holding tanks where turtles range from newly hatched to much larger turtles, some of which had been rescued after being caught in discarded fishing gear or had tried to eat plastic carrier bags, mistaking them for jelly fish. Some were injured and received "care" from one of the volunteers. Although it seemed sad that the turtles are only in tanks and nothing to do, this is still an important work.

I little sad but informative and worthy
Worth a short visit. We had 20 min there enough time to see the turtles but not enough to read and information (if there was any). The little turtles are so very cute. The sentiment to ensure turtle survival is great but the enclosures did nothing to emulate the natural environment. But if this is what it takes for us to see huge green turltes in the ocean (scuba diving in the Similan Islands as we did) them in all four this.
