What to expect

The Koh Lanta Mangrove Forest, also known as Thung Yee Pheng Mangrove Forest, is a unique ecosystem located on the northeast coast of Koh Lanta Yai. The forest features a maze of tranquil streams, rivers, and inlets, with mangrove trees and their distinctive roots. Visitors can explore the forest by walking along a wooden walkway, renting kayaks, or taking a longtail boat tour. The forest is home to various wildlife, including fiddler crabs, cranes, sea eagles, and monkeys. The mangrove forest provides a natural defense against storms and tsunamis, and it also serves as a breeding ground for numerous species of fish, birds, and mammals. The Thung Yee Peng Community offers tours and activities, such as kayaking and boat trips, which can help support the conservation of the mangrove forest. The forest is a great place to visit for those who want to experience the natural beauty of Koh Lanta and learn about the importance of mangrove ecosystems

Koh Lanta's mangrove swamp

Koh Lanta's mangrove swamp
This family's experience:

Activities: We went on an excursion to Koh Lanta's mangrove swamp. We went by scooter and bought tickets on the spot. The boat tours provide life jackets

Highlights: We had a great time! "Båtar och apor. Det blir inte bättre för en treåring" (Boats and monkeys. It doesn't get any better for a three-year-old). We got to see a little three-week-old baby monkey that was very cute ✨
