About Than Bok Khorani National Park

Than Bok Khorani National Park is a coastal and marine protected area known for its stunning limestone karst formations, clear sea waters, and diverse ecosystems, offering exceptional hiking, snorkeling, and wildlife viewing experiences.

Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage

Than Bok Khorani National Park is located along the Andaman Sea coast in Krabi Province, southern Thailand. Covering a diverse area that includes rugged limestone mountains, dense tropical forests, caves, freshwater streams, and striking coastal bays, the park protects both terrestrial and marine habitats. The park’s geography is dominated by distinctive limestone karst landscapes rising sharply from the sea and are dotted with sea caves and secluded beaches. The lush forests provide a habitat for various wildlife species such as macaques, hornbills, monitor lizards, and a variety of tropical birds and butterflies. Marine life thrives near coral reefs offshore, making snorkeling and diving popular activities. Historically, the area has been important for local fishermen and contains archaeological sites that reflect human settlement and use of the coastal resources. Recreational visitors can explore well-maintained trails leading to waterfalls and panoramic viewpoints like the Than Bok Khorani waterfall and Phra Nang Nai cave. Kayaking along the coast allows access to hidden caves and limestone cliffs. The park offers an attractive mix of activities for nature lovers, photographers, and those seeking tranquil coastal scenery. Visitors appreciate the combination of forest hikes with opportunities for swimming and snorkeling in clear tropical waters. The park’s accessibility from Krabi town makes it a favored destination for day trips and multi-day explorations.
