Highlights
This experience stands apart as a genuinely local, community-led tour in Phum Riang, created in partnership with residents who have sustainably managed the mangrove ecosystem for generations and continue to live closely connected to the land and sea. Rather than a typical sightseeing trip, it’s designed as an immersive learning experience where guests gain real insight into traditional coastal life. You’ll explore the mangrove environment with local experts, learning about native wildlife, plants, and which species are edible or used in everyday life. A highlight is the hands-on introduction to catching mangrove crabs using humane, traditional methods—offering a deeper appreciation of how the community harvests resources responsibly while protecting the ecosystem for the future.

About Surat Thani
Surat Thani is a river city on Thailand's Gulf coast, the mainland gateway to Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, and to Khao Sok's rainforest.
Surat Thani sits on the Tapi River in southern Thailand, a few kilometres from the Gulf coast, and is the main transport hub for the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, which lie offshore. Ferries leave from piers outside the city, while the town centre keeps a riverfront promenade, markets and a night food market. Fishing boats work the river mouth and the bay.
