The Emerald Cave (Tham Morakot in Thai) is a cave accessible only from the sea through an 80-meter-long, dark tunnel. Depending on the tide, you can swim or kayak through it. Beyond lies a light shaft with a small, white sandy beach and turquoise water. The cave is also a popular snorkeling spot. A beautiful, somewhat hidden, yet well-known place, it attracts many tourists, often booked through local tour operators. To enjoy the Emerald Cave undisturbed, it's recommended to stay in one of the hotels on Koh Mook and arrive early in the morning, before the groups from Koh Lanta and Trang arrive.

The cave is inaccessible at high tide! To avoid tourist groups, a visit in the morning or late afternoon is recommended. Bring a diving mask, snorkel, and a waterproof flashlight or headlamp to illuminate your way through the tunnel.

The Emerald Cave is located near Hat Farang Beach. To get there, you can rent a longboat (approx. 700 THB) or a kayak (150 THB).
