Tha Pom Khlong Song Nam

Just 35km north of Krabi Town lies a dense mangrove forest thriving over the clear waters of Tha Pom Khlong Sang Nam.

Pay a small fee of 50 baht that goes towards preserving the park and you’ll gain access to an ecological marvel hidden away from the tourist masses. A boardwalk takes you over the lagoon and through a well preserved nature park that is usually packed by locals on the weekends. Freshwater from nearby mountains mix with the seawater from Phang Nga Bay to create a surreal blue-emerald color. I was lucky to find myself there on a rainy day with nearly no one around, the quiet sounds of life resonated a vibrant energy.
