Tha Pom is about 34 km. from the provincial town of Krabi. The canal of Tha Pom is well known for its crystal clear water. It is called by local people khlong song nam in Thai or literally "two water canal". This is because of its special feature location where seawater meets freshwater during the high-tide periods, resulting in a mixture of seawater and freshwater in the canal. Situated amidst mangrove forest and swamp forest, Tha Pom is home to an astonishing variety of creatures from the two kinds of forest areas. They adjust themselves to live together harmoniously in such specific conditions.
A natural trail in Tha Pom has been improved to help conserve the area. And a 2-metre-high wooden bridge has been built along the trail over the forest areas to create this area as a natural classroom, presenting the forest ecosystem in a sensitive and interesting way.The natural forest trail of Tha Pom has a total length of about 700 metres and takes around 45 minutes to walk through it. There are interpretation boards along the trail to explain the relationships among the different species of animals and plants under this specific ecological system. At the end of the trail is a lookout tower for a bird's eye view of the place. Visitors are recommended to walk in a circle from the starting point to the end in order not to miss any single place around there.
