In the town of Khanom, mangrove forests stretch along the canal, some of which are quite accessible just before the bridge. There, you can stroll along paved paths through the mangroves and observe colorful crabs, jumping fish, and even crab-eating monkeys, although they tend to be rather shy during the day (I didn't see them, but they do live there). Kayaking isn't possible here, but a few kilometers past the bridge is the Krua Tangke restaurant, which rents kayaks. Boat tours on the canal are also offered from this restaurant, including evening firefly tours. The location, whose GPS coordinates I'm providing, is quite small, but since it's on the road to many attractions and borders the town, it might be worth a visit.

No entrance fee. Open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, although you may have to push the door open as it is not locked. Information about boat tours from the Krua Tangke Restaurant at Annavilla Resort is available at your accommodation or by calling 089 288 9099 (mobile).

There is no public transport to get there.
