(TAN): A healthy pair of Bruda whales (also known as Bryde’s whales) was recently sighted by park rangers in Mu Ko Ang Thong National Marine Park, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) said.
The whales, estimated to measure between approximately six and eight metres respectively, were seen on February 20 at 1340 hours behind the island of Ko Mae Ko in an area near the Wua Ta Lap Island channel, which is part of the Mu Ko Ang Thong National Marine Park in the Gulf of Thailand in Surat Thani.

The Bruda whales were observed by the Mu Ko Ang Thong National Marine Park officials from a safe distance, as they took pictures and recorded data. They notified tourism operators and fishermen in the area and asked they take care when navigating in the area to avoid harming the marine mammals.
