You will make your way through the mangroves on to where Khao Pingkan lies, about 6 kilometres from the mainland amidst a group of a dozen other islands.

A distinctive feature of its famous bay is the number of sheer limestone cliffs that jut out of the emerald-green water including the famous landmark Koh Tapu, a 20 metre high limestone rock that lies about 40 metres to the west. The entire area surrounding this island is really quite spectacular, from the various shaped limestone cliffs and mountains to the beautiful turquoise colored water and the marine life it is home to. | |

Our next stop is Sra Nang Manora Forest Park where you’ll find a series of small waterfalls and pools, ideal for a swim on a hot day. The waterfalls combined with the jungle setting and the peace and quiet create a little slice of paradise. | |
