About half way along the coast between Than Bok Khoranee and Krabi town is a bay of mangroves that may be the most beautiful bay in Thailand. Here, bays and canyons are like passageways. Recently, this place has been discovered that it is superb for having the first-time encounter with the ecosystem. In addition, there are very rich faunas and plants that are not found easily. The region contains good examples of traditional local villages. Certainly, a highlight of the trip is narrow channels cut through two towering cliffs. Several species of Kingfishers, little Herons and Crab Eating Macaques are almost guaranteed to be seen in this area. Ao Thalane has not yet officially designated as a national park but it may soon become one. If lucky, you may have a chance to see the monkeys or macaques coming very close to you while you are paddling. These monkeys come for food. They know that you must have something they can eat. Please be careful with your camera and belongings. Naughty monkeys like to take away the tourists’ belongings. After that, we get back to the pier, get change and enjoy lunch from the restaurant with nice view and then we transfer you back to the hotel.
