Pa Phru Tha Pom (Khlong Song Nam) is located at Ban Nong Chik, Mu 2, Tambon Khao
Khram, a distance of 34 kilometres from the provincial town of Krabi.
To get there, proceed along Highway No. 4 (Krabi - Ao Luek route) onto
Km. 126 and take a left turn for another 5 kilometres. Pa Phru or peat
swamp forest of the canal of Tha Pom features a number of water
sources, which originate from the Chong Phra Kaeo pool.
Tha Pom is
called Khlong Song Nam by the locals, which in Thai literally means
"two water canal", because of its special feature location where
crystal clear freshwater, which the pool’s floor and the roots of
Lumphi palm (Eleiodoxa conferta) are virtually visible, meets seawater
from the mangrove forest. Tha Pom features a natural trail made of
lath. Wooden chairs are located at certain points for nature lovers to
conveniently admire the view of the place.
Admission fees for adults
and children are 50 and 30 Baht, respectively. For more details,
