Even though we didn’t got to see the pink dolphins, we still had an amazing day visiting the local sights. Our guide Nong was amazing! We went on the boat tour firs, afterwards delicious seafood lunch at a local restaurant, then off to the fish spa and lastly the cave.

Rented a scooter at short notice and delivered within an hour, fair price. Booked a half day tour to see dolphins + fish spa. Great day! Also used Toon for a transfer from Khanom to Khao Sok. Toon is very friendly, punctual, efficient and knowledgeable and is always willing to help with any requests. Very reliable and will arrive and deliver on time. Really glad we found him, made our stay in Khanom all the better. Highly recommended! Thanks Toon, all the best!

An absolute must to visit. This cave was a highlight for us. It was absolutely awe inspiring. Don’t underestimate the 147 stairs up and 147 stairs down. They are not even and definitely geared towards someone who is tall but get past those stairs and the rest is spectacular. Take some water, a torch and towel as it is hot and humid. Wear sneakers as it is slippery and wet. But so worth it. Oh and did I mention the cave dwelling bats and spider?

Was here in 2023. Here you can hire a local boat for 1200 THB to take you out to the bay to spot the pink dolphins. The best time go is in the morning, I came at 9am from Donsak. There were 3 of them swimming in tandem. น่ารักนา! Even if you do not spot any dolphins the ride out to the bay of Khanom is beautiful. The view is raw and untouched by tourism.

Ao Tong Yee is one of the hidden bays along the Khanom coastline in Nakhon Si Thammarat province, southern Thailand. Tucked away between forested hills and rocky headlands, this bay feels secluded and natural, making it perfect for travelers who want to escape the busier parts of Khanom and enjoy peace and simplicity. The bay itself is shaped in a gentle curve, with soft golden sand and calm, shallow water that is excellent for swimming or just cooling off on a hot day. Casuarina and coconut trees fringe the shoreline, offering natural shade and a classic tropical atmosphere. Because Ao Tong Yee is not widely known, it is rarely crowded—visitors can often walk the length of the beach in near solitude, with only the sound of the waves and the sea breeze for company. Fishing boats are sometimes anchored along the shore, reflecting the traditional lifestyle of the local community. There are no big resorts or nightlife spots here, only a few small homestays and local restaurants that serve freshly caught seafood at affordable prices. This keeps the atmosphere relaxed and authentic, far from the commercialization of Thailand’s major tourist beaches. Sunrise and sunset are especially beautiful at Ao Tong Yee, with the sky glowing in warm colors and reflecting across the calm bay. For those who like to explore, the surrounding coastline offers jungle paths, hidden coves, and small villages that showcase the charm of Khanom. Overall, Ao Tong Yee is a serene, off-the-beaten-path destination—ideal for travelers who want to enjoy Thailand’s natural coastal beauty in its most unspoiled form.
