gnil Says: The boatmen brought us to a not-so-obvious cave opening. I started to panic when he asked us to jump down and swim into the cave.I did it and it was really worth it. As I was swimming into the cave, I was in total darkness for about few minutes!It was a relieve after seeing...
Tham Morakot, the Emerald Caves
jenniferchin Says: The Amazing Emerald Cave lies behind the sheer cliffs of Koh Muk. I had to swim slowly (some parts in sheer pitch darkness) through small cavity to the cave about 80 metres away. Inside the Emerald Cave, the waters are gentel and sand white, surrounded by high cliffs and...
jenniferchin Says: Absolute best thing to do on Ko Muk (apart from Thai massage by the beach) is to lie down on the sand and catch the sun.Make sure you lather sunblock on yourself before falling asleep :-) And you can't take long naps as you have to turn yourself over to catch the sun ... its...
jenniferchin Says: The one thing that I wanted to do eversince I was in Thailand and I found it here :-)On Had Farang beach, near to the Sawadee bungalows on the right, you can see a sturdy hut-like covered platform. There was no one around there, so I wandered into the restaurant nearby and...
dabuwan Says: I didn't see any big fishes, but many different colourful ones.It seems that sea snakes are not uncommon around Ko Muk; fortunately I didn't see any of them, as they are poisonous and their bite could be lethal. They have a ribbon shape and they are about 1 mt long.
dabuwan Says: The coral around Ko Muk is lively.One of the best snorkelling areas is between Farang Beach and the Emerald cave.Some good spots can be reached directly from the beach, but chartering a small boat is better.
dabuwan Says: I used a cheap disposable waterproof camera to take some pictures of the underwater world around Ko Muk.You can't go deeper than 1.5 mt with those plastic things.I'm sorry the quality of the pics is not so good: in reality everything was much better!
dabuwan Says: Entering the Emerald Cave tunnel is not dangerous, but you must be a good swimmer and you must not be afraid of dark.Take also into account that you must enter and then exit only during low tide.Once you're in the tunnel it's a 5 min. swim (about 100mt) through the narrow...
dabuwan Says: The Emerald Cave, or "Tham Morakot", is the top attraction on Ko Muk.Located on the rocky western coast of the island, north of Farang beach, this amazing tunnel can be entered by swimming only during low tide. At the end of the 100 mt narrow tunnel there is a stunning...
dabuwan Says: This is one of my mostly beloved beaches ever. The officlal name is Hat Sai Yao, but everybody on Ko Muk name it just "Farang Beach".It is a pleasant 30 min. walk from Ko Muk resort, on the opposite side of the island (on the west coast, thus). It is a real paradise beach:...
Ko Muk Resort: Nice place to stay at Ko Muk
gnil Says: I loved the clean hut and toilet which was quite new. The host was very friendly and the food was great.The resort does not have a nice beach. Need to take a boat, which is free to the other side of Ko Muk island with nicer beach. 500baht for 1 night during peak season.
