Emerald-clear Waters at Pa Ton Nam Ban Nam Rad

💧💚 Unseen Surat Thani! "Pa Ton Nam Ban Nam Rad" - an emerald-clear pond that mirrors the sky, nestled in the forest! 🌳🛶

I recently discovered a hidden oasis in Surat Thani, everyone! "Pa Ton Nam Ban Nam Rad" in Khiri Rat Nikhom District is truly a paradise for those who love crystal-clear waters and lush greenery!

The first thing that will make you go 'Wow!' is the water's color! It's incredibly clear, so clear that you can see the sandy limestone sediment at the bottom. The water has a bluish-green emerald hue, and when sunlight hits the surface, it sparkles beautifully as if enchanted!

Must-try activities:

1. Kayaking/Canoeing: Rent a kayak or canoe to explore the forest streams. It's a super relaxing experience, surrounded by the shade of trees arching over the water, making you feel like you've stepped into a fairytale world. (Additional fees apply, but they're very affordable.)

2. Swimming in the spring pool: The main spring pool has refreshingly cool water where you can take a dip. However, remember that this is a strictly conserved area maintained by the locals. Using soap, shampoo, or bringing trash into the area is strictly prohibited to preserve the water's clarity.

3. Photography: Every angle is picturesque! Especially the kayaking shots where the clear water contrasts with the green forest—it's the ultimate nature photography spot!

If you're planning a trip to Surat Thani and want to avoid the beaches or are looking for a serene escape, Pa Ton Nam Ban Nam Rad should be on your list. It's a natural gem of Thailand that you must see with your own eyes!
