Susan Hoi (Fossil Shell Beach)
The shell
graveyard at Ban Laem Pho was once a large freshwater swamp, home to a kind of snail. Over eons dating from the
Tertiary Age, about 40 million years ago, these snails lived and died by the million, to the extent that the dead snails
formed a layer upon which existed the living. Eventually, weather changes precipitated the swamp's disappearance, but by then
the layer of fossilized snail shells was forty centimeters thick, resting on ten centimeters of lignite below which is the
subsoil. Because of geographic upheaval, this Shelly limestone is now distributed in great broken sheets of impressive
magnitude on the seashore at Laem Pho.

This bay is beautiful and at the same time very strange to the eye because
of its limestone mountains. Its famous beaches include Rai Ley, Tam Pra
Nang (where the tam or cave, is sacred to local villagers) and Nam Mao;
none of these can e reached by road. However, boats leave regularly from
the accessible part of Ao Nang to take visitors to them. There are also
other islands to visit as well : Kai Island. Tap Island, Mor Island, and
Padah Island, where there are clean sandy beaches, clear water and schools
of colorful fishes in abundance perfect for diving, snorkeling, or
swimming. Boats to the islands are boarded at Ao Nang.
