Your stay, at your pace, planned around you.

What makes this place special

Mangrove landscapes

A suitable boat route offers an introduction to the relationship between water, vegetation and coast. The route depends on tides and local conditions.

Local life

Fishing and other work shape the area. Encounters follow local people's everyday activities, rather than being performances available at any time.

A contrast to the markets

After busy market visits, the landscape brings a different focus to the day. Choose your stops thoughtfully to keep the programme comfortable.

How long to stay and where to base yourself

The visit is usually part of a day excursion from Bangkok and does not need a separate overnight stay. Check that the nature section has enough time, rather than being only a very short addition.

You do not need to change hotels for a day trip. If you would like to spend longer in the area, we clarify suitable accommodation and access to the planned nature activities in advance.

Getting here and travelling onwards

A boat journey may follow the road transfer. The pier, boat type and boarding arrangements are agreed with the local operator. The order of activities may need to follow the water level.

Weather and the best time to visit

Tides and weather are important on the waterways. Heavy rain or unsuitable conditions may require changes to the route. Wildlife sightings are possible, but cannot be guaranteed.

Practical tips for your visit

Bring sun and rain protection, and protect belongings from spray. Do not feed or touch wildlife. If boarding smaller boats is difficult, we check the programme's suitability in advance.
