Than Bok Khorani National Park

Gorgeous swimmable river and shaded boardwalks, but 300 baht for foreigners stings for a short trail.

Why go, and how to do it well

The sore point first. Foreigners pay 300 baht, and the main nature trail is about 1,500 meters. Plenty of reviewers do the math and come away grumbling, and I don't blame them. What you get for the money is a clear river you can actually swim in, shaded walkways that cross and follow it, caves, mangroves and limestone karsts rising over the whole thing. Judge it as a beautiful tropical garden with a swimming spot rather than a full day's hiking and it makes a lot more sense.

Come early. People who arrive before the crowds describe having the water almost to themselves, and it fills up noticeably after 10am. There's a restaurant on site, though at least one visitor found menu items without prices listed, so ask before you order. The park also works as a jumping-off point for boat trips out to Hong Island and the smaller islands nearby, which is arguably the stronger half of a day out here.

Reviews from Google

Visited Hong island and som more smaller ones on a day trip by speedboat. Very beautiful area with lots of nature. Make sure to get up early in the morning as it can get busy over the day ( after 10am ).

Beautiful national park. Very spread out areas to visit, so I do think it’s a shame that the 300 baht ticket to enter the park is only valid for one day. It means you are rushing around and need a scooter to really benefit from seeing everything. If you want to see it across multiple days you need to pay 300 baht per person per day. The back of the ticket says it is valid for 5 days but that is actually only when you are camping in the park. The caves, mangroves and nature trail were gorgeous and still worth seeing, but sadly paying that price every day deterred us from staying in the area any longer. If we had stayed for more days and paid 300 only once then we would have spent more in the local businesses around over that time!

A pleasant spot amid the local karsts featuring a few hundred metres of shaded walkways winding beside and across a swimmable local river, but also another attempt at a tourist trap. I'm fine paying a bit more as a foreigner, but 300 baht for an hour of boardwalks feels like a money grab. 150 baht would be more decent value. I think family tourists like us would spend much more time and money exploring Krabi mainland with reasonable entry fees. The current stay away pricing seems like an own goal for local tourism development.
