“A small, clear-water canal stretching 5 kilometers through peat swamp and mangrove forests, perfect for a leisurely walk and sunset photography.”

Tha Pom Klong Song Nam is a unique natural tourist attraction. The name “Klong Song Nam” means a canal with two kinds of water — freshwater from natural springs and seawater from the sea flowing together. During high tide, seawater flows in and mixes with freshwater, turning the canal into a vibrant turquoise-green color, like a natural mirror. At low tide, the clear freshwater becomes more visible, creating a beautiful natural phenomenon that changes throughout the day.

Besides the stunning water, visitors can walk along a wooden bridge more than 700 meters long that leads into peat swamp, mangrove, and tropical rainforest ecosystems. These ecosystems are rich and diverse, filled with native plants, intricately spreading roots, and small aquatic animals living harmoniously in the canal.
