Thai Mueang Turtle Festival

The Turtle Release Festival is a seven day event starting in early March. During the festival, which occurs at the 100 kilometers long Thai Mueang beach. baby turtles who have been raised by the Fisheries Department, are released into the Andaman Sea. The many types of turtles lay their eggs 4 times a year and are taken into custody for safe keeping until they are ready to be released. What better theme for a festival? We will be there and will take photos.
