THE TOWN OF KHANOM

Formerly known as Muang Tranom. This town was founded in the reign of King U-thong 800 years ago. It was a big center for navigation and sea-trade and a center of Buddhist cultural arts. The name of the town was later known as Panom and Khao Nom and lastly Khanom. In the reign of King Rama the Fifth Khanom became a village under the jurisdiction of Ta-saala District. In 1959 it was upranked to the district level under the jurisdiction of Nakhon Sri Thammarat province.
Foreign visitors presently have not discovered Khanom. It is still a sleepy village with fishing, rubber and coconut plantations as the main source of income.

The town’s main attraction and even its symbol, are the dolphins. Khanom is the home of the pink dolphins, an endangered species of the indo-pacific humpback dolphins. In our resort you will see them pass by very often, or you can watch them on a boat trip along the picturesque coast, where you will meet them nearly always when the sea is quiet. If you are lucky,  you will see them like in the picture .
