About Khao Nam Khang Historical Tunnel
Khao Nam Khang Historical Tunnel is a former underground base located in Khlong Kwang Subdistrict, Na Thawi District, Songkhla Province, southern Thailand. Excavated in the 1970s and considered the largest man-made tunnel in Thailand, it extends about one kilometer across three levels. Once used as a shelter and operational base, it now operates as a historical attraction displaying living quarters, meeting rooms and exhibits within a forested hillside setting near the Malaysia border.
