“A 3D mural allowing visitors to pose as if floating in emerald-colored water or exploring a real cave.”
Emerald Cave 3D Mural is part of the Old Town revitalization project using Street Art, designed to connect the world-famous Emerald Cave, Koh Muk to the city center for visitors to experience and photograph.
The mural is painted on the wall of an old Sino-Portuguese building, creating an artistic dimension that blends contemporary style with architectural heritage. The 3D technique (Trompe-l'œil) gives the mural a lifelike depth and vibrancy.
When standing in the designated spot, visitors appear to be swimming or floating in the emerald-green water. This mural is one of the most popular highlights of the Trang Street Art Trail, representing one of Trang’s most unique destinations.

Travel Tips
