Tunnels Beaches

Reviewed By Bearessa - Khao Lak, Thailand

This afternoon we have been to Tunnels Beaches, first carved out in 1823 by Welsh miners, it took 2 years for the tunnels to be carved out, and they also built 3 tidal bathing pools 2 for the ladies and 1 for the men, sadly due to the strong tides only one pool remains,great place to spend a couple of hours
