The main activity at Klong Root is kayaking, or even swimming. This klong, which means channel in Thai, winds and extends quite far. Don't just stay on the kind of lake at the start, also and especially leave where it narrows and sinks into the vegetation. At the end there is a dam that children and local residents love to use as a slide. This is why they called this place Klong Luot, luot significant slippery.
