Koh Mook is well known for its beautiful beaches and Morakot Cave. Its communities are mostly Muslim. High cliffs and rocks face the sea at the western coast. Morakot Cave is located on the West side of Koh Mook. Only a small boat can pass the entrance to the cave during low tide. The 80 metres long channel leads to a large hall roofed by the sky. There is a sand beach surrounded by high cliffs. The sunlight during midday will be straight through the mouth of the funnel. The reflection of the sea creates the emerald color, the name "Morakot Cave" means "Emerald Cave". Koh Mook is part of Had Chao Mai National Park.
