Mook Island and MoraKot Cave - Trang
Mook Island and MoraKot Cave are well known among tourists. There is a large community on the island called Ban Koh Mook, in other words Koh Mook village. The shoreline of the island is full of sea grass which is the best nutrition for dugong. MoraKoht Cave is one of the unseen destinations in the Unseen Thailand campaign of the Tourism Authority of Thailand. The cave is located in the west side of the island. An exciting journey to Morakoht Cave begins by swimming through the 80-metre dark tunnel which allows only a small boat to pass through during very low tide. After passing the entrance to the other end, visitors will find large hall which has blue sky as its roof, white sand and emerald green water as its floor. Surrounded by high cliffs and rare species of plants such as Caladium, spurge (Euphorbia antiquorum), what you just see definitely turn into your lifetime memory. To get to Mook Island and MoraKoht Cave, there is a shuttle boat service which leaves Kuan Tung Ku Pier at 08.00 hr everyday. The fee is around 40 baht per person. One trip of chartered boat will cost around 400 baht and takes 30 minutes to Koh Mook. Upon arrival at Sapanyao Pier in front of the island, visitors should rent a long-tailed boat to Morakoht Cave. Another possible way is to rent a boat from Pak Meng Pier straight to Morakoht Cave at Koh Mook (about 40 minutes).
