The Khlong Root (pronounced "Klong Route") is a small river that meanders through lush vegetation in places. Its source is 18 kilometers from Krabi Town (click on the GPS coordinates to see the exact location). It's one of the most popular kayaking spots in the area, along with Ao Thalane by the sea. The spot boasts picturesque scenery and crystal-clear water! The main activity on the Khlong Root is kayaking, but swimming is also possible. This klong, which means "canal" in Thai, meanders and stretches for a considerable distance. Don't just stay in the shallow water at the beginning; explore the sections where the river narrows and disappears into the vegetation. At the end, there's a dam that's often used as a slide by children and locals. This is where the name Klong Luot comes from, which means "slippery."

Open daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Kayak rental costs 300 Baht per person. Remember to bring sunscreen, a hat, and light clothing to protect yourself from the tropical sun. Don't forget to bring plenty of water to stay hydrated during your trip. Respect nature and the local people by leaving no trace and not disturbing the region's delicate ecosystem.
