What places to visit in Khanom?

Must-visit places in Khanom

Pink dolphins

โลมาสีชมพู

---

My opinion :

When talking about Khanom in Thailand, pink dolphins are usually the first thing that comes out. It is unique in Thailand and quite rare in the world and that if seeing them is obviously not guaranteed, when taking a boat to see them with an experienced captain in calm weather, it is quite rare that you come back without having meet some. But it happens...

Khao Wang Thong Cave

ถ้ำถ้ําเขาวังทอง

---

My opinion :

It is the most famous cave in the Nakhon Si Thammarat province where Khanom district is located. The interior rooms with their stalagmites and stalactites are superb. There are also bats inside. One of the must-visits in Kanom but you must love the caves !

Natural fish spas

สวนตาสรรค์

My opinion :

There is a small stretch of river near Khanom, just before the province of Surat Thani, which is known for its small fishes that eat dead skin. You sit on a ban in the watercourse, dive your feet and in a few seconds, there will be several fish to come to take care of your feet.

Saturday Walking Street

ถนนคนเดิน

---

My opinion :

It is not in Khanom but in the village just after it Bn Ton that hosts every Saturday evening a Walking Street, a large night market that settles in a street where cars are forbidden for the occasion. There is mostly food stalls and eating is the essential reason to go there.

Other nice places to visit in Khanom

Samet Chun Waterfall

One of Khanom's nicest waterfalls with a nice pool, big and deep enough to swim. And the setting is really nice. A relaxing place with fresh water if you're bored of the sea ;)

Mangroves (kayaking)

Much more fun and interesting than walking around on the small landscaped mangrove area, kayaking through the small canals in Khanom mangrove is a really enjoyable tour. For the nature, the small wildlife that lives there and the calm. ANd it is quite easy to paddle there

Khanom Viewpoint

This point of view on a hill offers a dominant panorama with beach and sea on a side, the side where the sun rises, and the mountains on the other side, the side where the sun sets. It's worth it to go when the weather is favorable.

Koh Nui

This small island is usually on the program of boat tours to meet Khanom pink dolphins. More than the island itself it is its legend and its source of fresh water discovered by a revered monk that makes it an important place that many people visit.

Tha Noi Waterfall

Another small waterfall in Khanom distirct. Mostly uncrowded it flows in a woody and refreshing setting. You can dip in the water to cool off but not really swim.

Mangroves

Near the city of Khanom, along the canal especially near the bridge, you have several areas with mangroves with shimmering crabs and monkeys even though we rarely see the primates. There is also the possibility to rent a kayak ad go on the canal.

Coral Pagoda

Nicknamed <em>Coral Pagoda</em> because its chedi was built entirely with coral stone, it is one of Khanom's well-known monuments. Not the most unmissable because even the view offered from its small hill is not the most incredible you can see but as a step on the road to other visits, why not ?

Hin Lat Waterfall

With its concrete part, the waterfall lacks a bit of charm but is not so bad to sit and relax in the shadow near the strem and dip in a cool water.
