Than Bok Khorani National Park, National park in Ao Luek district, Krabi, Thailand
Than Bok Khorani is a national park featuring mangrove forests, limestone cliffs, tropical rainforests, and pools filled by underground streams. The landscape also contains interconnected cave systems carved through the rock over thousands of years.
The park was established in 1998 to protect the region's plant and animal life along with its rock formations. The area had been known for centuries as a landscape shaped by water and used by people living nearby.
Local people have long depended on the water sources and forest resources in this area for their livelihoods. The way visitors today travel through caves and streams reflects how central these features remain to the identity of the region.
Visitors can walk marked trails on foot or take boat tours through the cave systems. It is best to wear comfortable shoes and plan for several hours to explore both the river areas and the forested sections.
The park contains two connected caves that visitors can paddle through by kayak, exploring underground passages and rock chambers. These boat routes offer access to sections of the park that would be unreachable on foot.
