Takua Pa Old City to The Sustainable Ways of Ko Yao, Phang- Na Route
Proposed Program
Day 1
Shrine of the Deity
We start on the route by touring around Takua Pa Old City, about 7 kilometres from Amphoe Takua Pa. In the past, this area was an important source of cardamom, which attracted traders from India, Persia, China, Britain, Australia and Holland. Many Chinese married local women, and their male children were called by the honorific title of ‘Baba’, while the females were known as ‘Nyonya.’ Presently, it is estimated that over 90% of Takua Pa residents are Baba descendants. The area was also once rich in mineral resources, namely tin and lead, and Takua Pa became a mining capital.
Day 2
Kayaking in the Mangrove Forests
Today’s first activity is kayaking through the mangrove forests with a local guide. The thick shrubs and trees make many natural tunnels through which to paddle. At the same time as getting some exercise and enjoying the natural surroundings, we are able to learn some local wisdom by using a ‘crab trap,’ a simple method to catch black crabs. We reach Khlong Tha Din Daeng, a waterway flowing to the Andaman Sea. Before returning, we stop at a fish enclosure where bait is used by villagers to put on a fish show for visitors. The stars of this show are sea bass, groupers, large oysters, and puffer fish.
Day 3
Fishing Communities
Up early, we can catch first rays of light shining over a myriad of islands off the coast of Krabi from a vantage point called Hat Laem Baek.
Day 4
Hat Pa Sai
We start this morning at Hat Pa Sai, a beautiful stretch of sandy beach, famous for its sea almond trees decorated with cloth bands as notification that they are the homes of hornbills. More than 200 hornbills live on the island

Proposed Program
Day 1
Rom Hup (Folding Umbrella) Market
Our first destination is the Rom Hup (Folding Umbrella) Market, a one-of-a-kind market that is literally set on the railway track near Mae Klong Station. You can witness this unique market either from the train or by roaming the market till a train approaches. You will then see the vendors in a mad rush that looks completely chaotic but is an efficient process practised over many years.
Day 2
Bang Noi Floating Market
When a pale sun rises over the horizon, people in canal-based communities gather at the piers, waiting to offer food to the monks who cruise down this waterway. If you have a chance to stay by the canal, this is a morning merit-making activity you should not miss.
Day 3
Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum
Begin the new day by biking to the hanging bridge, 10 minutes away from the resort, and witness an impressive sunrise at Ban Hat Ngio. After breakfast, it is time to head to the Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum, located in the Hellfire Pass area.
Day 4
Lawa Cave
Start the day at Lawa Cave, a famous cave in Sai Yok National Park. The cave is well illuminated, allowing visitors to explore and witness amazing formations of limestone. If you are lucky, you may be greeted by the world’s smallest bat, Kitti’s Hog Nosed Bat.
