The name 'Than Bok Khorani' translates to a 'pond in the middle of a forest' due to the natural spring-fed pools.
The park features ancient prehistoric rock paintings in the Tham Pee Hua To cave, depicting humans and sea creatures.
The limestone karst formations in the park are composed of sedimentary rock shaped by million-year-old weathering processes.
The park's water maintains a consistent, cool temperature year-round due to its subterranean spring source.
The mangrove ecosystems within the park boundaries serve as vital nurseries for various marine species.
Than Bok Khorani National Park is a freshwater-focused sanctuary characterized by emerald pools, limestone cliffs, and mangrove forests. The park centerpiece is a series of crystal-clear pools fed by natural springs originating from nearby mountains. Visitors can explore the Than Bok Khorani waterfall, which flows over multi-tiered limestone formations. The park protects 121 square kilometers, including terrestrial forests and coastal marine environments. Inland trails wind through lush rainforest vegetation, offering access to caves and sinkholes. Unlike many Krabi parks focused solely on beaches, this site emphasizes inland aquatic ecosystems. The park serves as a gateway to exploring the karst topography of the Ao Luek district.
