Discover Local Island Life

Description

Embark with us on a journey back in time. On this unique tour, you will discover local island life as it used to be decades ago, before Krabi was discovered by tourism. In the very early morning, we will go to the local market in Krabi Town where the farmers sell their fresh produce. After a short walk through the old town of Krabi, we will make our way to Krabi River and visit a dim-sum breakfast shop where the local Sino-Thai population keeps the tradition of a morning yum-cha alive. The river and its mangroves have been the lifeline of Krabi for centuries for fishing, timber and protection from rough monsoon storms.

The mangrove forests also offer shelter for many species of animals. Keep your eyes on the riverbanks as we cruise along the river towards Koh Klang. If you’re lucky, you might see some monkeys or rare species of bird. Once on the island, we will meet boat builders, rice farmers and batik artists living the traditional Thai lifestyle. Lunch will be served on a floating restaurant in the mangroves. This trip is the ultimate combination of nature and culture, showing you the real Thailand and some of its most beautiful scenery.
