More about Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation
A visit to the Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation is a chance to learn about the turtles that nest along Mai Khao Beach and about the work being done to protect them and keep the sea clean.
The foundation is based within the grounds of a resort, but you do not need to be a hotel guest to visit.
During your visit you can see some of the turtles the foundation looks after. Some of them are disabled, so they would not be able to survive in the wild. Donations towards their upkeep are welcome.
