Experience a coastal retreat in Thailand as Faasi Resort and Spa takes you kayaking through the mangroves
Chanthaburi, Thailand (PRWEB) November 25, 2011
Eco travelers to Thailand can now go kayaking in the mangroves in the Kung Kraben Bay Royal Development Project to protect the marine environment. The mangroves are protected as they are the nursery of the sea, playing a vital role in the protection of marine life and other wildlife as well as fireflies, which put on a spectacular display in the early evenings.
While paddling through the mangroves, kayakers will pass through the dappled light of the mangrove trees reflected in the water and sharp eyed visitors will see birds such as Brahminy Kites, Egrets and Kingfishers, as well as shoals of flying fish.
“A kayaking trip through the mangroves is a magical experience,” says owner-manager of Faasai Resort and Spa Bronwen Evans. “There is silence but for the sound of the water, the popping of the mangrove pods and the call of the birds.”
An easy boardwalk through the mangroves passes fish and shrimp farms and takes in spectacular views across the beautiful and unspoilt Kung Kraben bay. It is fringed by hills and occasionally visited by families of dugong, an endangered species of sea cow, which comes to feed on the sea grass in the bay. Also known as manatee, they were once believed by sailors to be mermaids.
Faasai Resort and Spa, which focuses on nature, environmental education and eco tours, also offers visits to the outdoor marine nursery in Kung Kraben bay, a study centre where there are many species of marine life including giant groper, leopard sharks and turtles. Visitors can feed the fishes, and even pat the leopard sharks, if they happen to strike the right time of day.
Another highlight is the aquarium by nearby Laem Sadet beach, about ten kilometers from the resort, where there are many local species of fish and other marine life including stingrays and sharks which can be viewed in the overhead glass tunnel.
The resort also arranges visits to the historic fishing village of Hua Laem, in Kung Wiman Beach, sightseeing trips around the bay with a local fishing boat and fishing trips including going out with the squid boats.
Faasai Resort and Spa, a four-star eco-resort on the Southeast Coast of Thailand has twice won best Small Hotel in the Thailand Green Awards and is committed to providing green travel experiences for responsible travelers.
