Great for family and children. Like a field trip for kids - Tranquil environment- spot lots of different species mud crabs along the broad walk mangrove swamps. Enjoy the breeze on the river cruise (charged 500THB for 6 pax) passing by fishing boats n village. Walk through the forest park and there’s a viewing tower.
