After a day out at
Bangpu watching so many gulls & terns, we drove to another coastal area and ready for more sea birds. We plan to rent a boat & do some birding at the Gulf of Thailand.
We arrived at Bang Ta Boon just after sun-rise.
Our destination is Bang Ta Boon Bay, and it was situated at the mouth of Petchburi River.
Is Friday and today is the week-end market day. Since we are going to be out in the sea until sun set, we stock up some snacks from the market. It will be great experience to relax with sea breeze, birding & biting snacks away until sun set!
Different from the actual market, this week end market or farm mart is for the residents/farmers to sell their produces directly to the consumers.
From vege, fish, meat to fruits. You name it, they have it.
There's a mangrove learning resource here at Bang Ta Boon.
Petchburi River flow through Kaeng Krachan National Park that I used to visit for birding and the length estimated about 210km.
The village on the left of the photo is where I will take a boat out to the sea for birding.
The fisherman are collecting the catches from the net on the jetty.
The fishes are segregated based on types & sizes.
Well, the boat is ready for boarding! Yeah!!... (to be continued)
I love Kaeng Krachan, I was there a week ago for 5 days, had to cancel it early due to a heavy storm that flooded many places around there;
