Though Ko Muk (also spelt Ko Mook and Ko Muuk) sits close to the mainland between Ko Ngai and Ko Kradan, it doesn't actually serve as a hub for the area, and in fact sees far less staying guests than Ko Ngai.
It does though see an awful lot of daytrippers -- or at least a part of it does anyway. Travellers and tourists alike flock to Ko Muk to see the famed Emerald Cove, a somewhat captivating quirk of nature.
A sinkhole rather than a cave, the Emerald Cove (we assume that sounded better than Emerald Sinkhole) was formed when the roof of a partly underwater cave collapsed, allowing light to flood in and jungle to develop.
The cave is reached by swimming through an access tunnel that leads from the outside world into what the TAT would have you think is a little hidden away Eden.
A word of warning, depending on the tide, the tunnel may be totally submerged in places, meaning that you have to swim, in the dark, underwater, without really knowing where you're going.
The tunnel is often full of fish and it can be a bit of a freaky experience. People have been known to react badly -- ie., totally freak out -- while trying to get into, or out of, the Emerald Sinkhole, sorry, cave.
