One hour’s drive from Krabi lies Kao Nor Chu Chi, also known as Khao Pra Bang Khram or the surroundings of Emerald Pool (it seems that everyone uses a different name for this place). A former territory of Gurney’s pitta (Hydrornis gurneyi), this forest still shelters some interesting species that are worth a visit. However, it is not the easiest place for birdwatching.
