Attraction Details :
Perfect for nature
lovers, Koh Mook owns a great spot for swimming and diving to see
beautiful corals found around the island. The island is also home to a
fisherman’s village on the east side. But the real highlight lies
within. Hidden inside is a lagoon featuring emerald-like color of water.
When the tide is low enough, the entrance to the lagoon is then
unveiled. You need to swim into a narrow tunnel for around 80 meters
until you reach the lagoon. When the sun shines, the emerald color of
the water reflects onto the tunnel’s wall, and that’s where its name,
Tham MoraKot (The Emerald Cave) came from. To get to the island, take
the boat from Pak Meng Pier in Amphoe Sikao for the 40 minute trip. The
boat rental fee is about 1,500 Baht per day. Choices of accommodations
are available on the other side of the island.http://www.tourismthailand.org/See-and-Do/Sights-and-Attractions-Detail/Koh-Muk-and-Tham-MoraKot-Emerald-Cave--813
