Experience Details

This experience stands apart as a genuinely local, community-led tour in Phum Riang, created in partnership with residents who have sustainably managed the mangrove ecosystem for generations and continue to live closely connected to the land and sea. Rather than a typical sightseeing trip, it’s designed as an immersive learning experience where guests gain real insight into traditional coastal life. You’ll explore the mangrove environment with local experts, learning about native wildlife, plants, and which species are edible or used in everyday life. A highlight is the hands-on introduction to catching mangrove crabs using humane, traditional methods—offering a deeper appreciation of how the community harvests resources responsibly while protecting the ecosystem for the future.

What You’ll Experience

Immerse yourself in the life of a Thai fisherman with this community-based tourism experience centered around nature and traditional mangrove life. After an afternoon pick-up from your accommodation in Surat Thani, journey to Baan Nuea Nam where you’ll meet a local conservation group dedicated to protecting the region’s rich mangrove ecosystem. Learn about their work before boarding a traditional long-tail boat to cruise through winding waterways, surrounded by lush forest and a tranquil sunset. Back on land, enjoy a freshly prepared seafood dinner featuring authentic local flavors, then venture into the mangroves at night for a hands-on experience catching crabs and discovering the community’s way of life. The evening concludes with time to clean up before returning to your accommodation in the city.
