Tourist Attractions in the Seven Wells Area
รายละเอียด
The Seven Wells area is home to several beautiful natural attractions that are perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
Thong Cave is located about 200 meters behind Ban Borrejed Luk School. Inside the cave, visitors can admire the stunning yellow stalactites. The cave is about 6 meters wide, and the path through it is lined with stalactites on both sides. The cave stretches for around 15 meters from the entrance.
Kasing Beach, also known as "Whirlwind Beach" by locals, is a 3-kilometer long stretch of sand. The beach got its name because whirlwinds used to occur here frequently. The beach is famous for its abundance of "tapeo" clams, which are found between December and February each year. People come here to relax, eat, swim, or camp. The beach also provides a fantastic view of nearby islands like Tarutao, Adang, Rawi, Buloan, Libong, Sukorn, Moro, Leuleang, and Kluai Islands. Additionally, visitors can experience local life and observe fishermen at work.
Nui Beach is a 500-meter long sandy beach surrounded by forest, offering a peaceful and scenic place to relax. The beach is characterized by both small and large rocks, and it was historically a spot where locals would clean shells they gathered, known as "Thap Hoi." Nui Beach connects to Kasing Beach, though a hill separates them, making it accessible only during low tide.
Next to Nui Beach is Nui Hill, a viewpoint offering panoramic views of the surrounding sea and village. The beach stretches for 500 meters, with layers of rocks along the shore forming natural platforms. This is an excellent spot for both nature viewing and swimming.
Khao Yai Island, located just 20 minutes by boat from the shore, serves as a shelter for fishermen during the monsoon season. It is also a popular spot for fishing and leisure activities. On the island, Makham Bay features a 300-meter sandy beach with coral debris. About 70 meters from the shore, you can explore vibrant coral reefs, including both soft and hard corals. On clear days, the coral appears in seven different colors. From the beach, a short climb leads to a viewpoint that overlooks nearby islands, with local fishermen regularly coming to the area to fish.
Chong Klad Spring is a freshwater source flowing from cracks in the large mountain on Khao Yai Island. The spring is submerged during high tide but becomes accessible when the tide is low, allowing fishermen to collect water for their needs. Local residents have also built a well to store water for use during the off-season.
Phan Yod Stone Castle is a sinkhole located on the northwest side of Khao Yai Island. The stone formations in this area resemble multiple spires, which visitors often compare to castle towers. The formations are also open to interpretation, and people often imagine them as animals or other structures. Below these formations, there is a 20-square-meter beach where visitors can swim and relax.
Loa Kara Bay, located on the eastern side of Khao Yai, is a 400-meter long beach that is perfect for swimming and camping. It’s best visited between November and May, which is the dry season. A unique feature of this bay is the "water plants" that grow along the rocks, which locals harvest and use for food. The plants form a greenish-yellow mat that stretches 10 meters long and 3 meters wide, and walking on it feels soft whether the tide is in or out.
Hin Ngam Bay is located next to Talo Bin Tai Bay and features smooth, colorful rocks of various sizes scattered across the shore. The bay is perfect for enjoying the ocean's natural beauty, and during low tide, visitors can walk between this bay and Talo Bin Tai Bay.
Kam Pu Bay (also known as Taalan Bay) is a crescent-shaped bay about 700 meters long. During the rainy season, a waterfall flows into the bay, which also serves as a water catchment. This peaceful bay is calm and free from strong waves, making it ideal for swimming. The bay is accessible throughout the year, and at low tide, you can view coral along the shore. It is also a known spot for turtle nesting. About 200 meters from the beach, there is a cave shelter about 20 meters long and 5 meters wide, where you can find shells left behind by past visitors.
Finally, the Coastal Fisheries Research and Development Center in Satun, located on Khao Yai Island, is a 20-minute boat ride from the Seven Wells pier. The center is dedicated to breeding various species of marine life, including large fish such as red grouper, mangrove snapper, and sea bass, which can weigh up to 20 kilograms.
