Explore the traditional old town of Koh Lanta and get a glimpse into local life. Take a peaceful stroll through the mangrove forest at Tung Yee Peng village. Visit the small village on the east coast of Koh Lanta. The mangroves here are almost as large as the island. At the edge of the water, a bridge welcomes you, and on the other side, a cement path winds through the mangroves.
The mangrove roots create a quiet and protected area for fish, crabs, oysters, lobsters, and shrimp. Take a longtail boat to explore the mangrove areas and observe the variety of local fauna, including colorful birds, mudskippers, and fiddler crabs. Stop at Monkey Point, where you can watch monkeys swim and dive.
The Sea Gypsy inhabitants, known in Thai as Chao Leh, are thought to be the very first inhabitants of the Andaman coastal regions of Thailand, Myanmar, and Malaysia. Their origins are unclear, but they may be descended from an Indonesian group called the Sea Dyaks. Facially, their features are distinct from those of the people in the lands they pass through.
This experience is enlightening as it shows how much of humanity lived while migrating across the coastal regions of our planet. Along with a delicious local lunch, you’re sure to have a wonderful day. (L)
