The northeast coast of Koh Lanta is enshrouded by the dense, emotive roots and the lush green leaves of the Mangroves lining up the serene streams and the calm rivers. The environment brings a sense of nostalgia which is hard to put in words. Mangroves on Koh Lanta provide a quintessential break from the strenuous plages and sandy shores. Here, you can pause for a short relaxing promenade, reconcile with nature in the floating homestays, or go kayaking.

Get a taste of the unique landscape by strolling your lane onto the wooden walkway that takes you to the Tung Yee Peng Mangroves Forest. Spot some fiddler crabs wriggling in the mud held together by the tubular dark roots of Mangroves. Catch some birds like cranes and sea eagles soaring over the trees or fishing in the shallows. Capture the humming of the outlying longtail boat engines as you walk your way through the Mangroves on Koh Lanta.
