We continue to the Coral Pagoda, an ancient and sacred pagoda of Khanom locals. This unique pagoda is made of coral and it’s more than thousand years old. The Pagoda was built by a private individual from Chaiya who donated all his valuables and treasures to build it. The shape of pagoda is the converted jar and surrounded with ancient red sand stone.
We stop for seafood lunch in a local restaurant around noon on beautiful Kwang Phow beach. You can then relax at a natural Fish Spa! Khanom is only one place that offers a natural Fish Spa in the South of Thailand. Soak up your feet in the natural stream, fish pedicure will remove dead skin from your feet, making your feet skin soft and smooth again.
After this funny experience, we go to Khao Wang Thong Cave: the most beautiful natural cave in Khanom. You will discover inside the cave some large and smaller chambers with fascinating stalactites and stalagmites in all sorts of shape and size. The largest hall is about 1 rai (or 1600 sqm) in size and with a bit of imagination, you will see stone pillars, pagodas, waterfalls, fish skin, custard apples, bathtubs, etc. For the last exploration of the day, we go for a swim at the astonishing Samet Chun waterfall: refreshing water to cool down and breathtaking views over Khanom Bay.
Back to the resort.

After arriving back to pier it is time for preparing our special lunch. You will experience charming Thai cooking class with the combination of the local wisdom and local ingredients. Baan Laem Homestay is settled at the shore, abundant with food sources, guaranteed fresh seafood, organic meats and vegetables. All cooking trick will be opened with practical cooking process starting from preparing fresh curry paste, coconut milk, making a fire in the stove etc. The local experience is rarely seen in the urban area, even if in Thailand.
