Hello…..dear readers !!! How have you been ? We hope you all have great days as you wish. Today it’s time to talk about a local community in Krabi Province. When we think of Krabi, we think of marine tourism, which has many beautiful islands to visit. Ban Koh Klang Community is the same as those. It is located at Klong Prasong Subdistrict, Muang District, Krabi Province. It is on an island in the middle of the Krabi River, and surrounded by mangrove forest. People here live simple lives in agriculture and handicrafts. Most of the villagers are Muslim & saltwater fishermen, which are the main ones.
The villagers of the Koh Klang Community have gathered together to set up a community for sustainable tourism. Muslim-local lifestyle with art & culture passed down. It is a community attraction near Krabi town, which still maintains the integrity of lifestyle, local wisdom with the pure nature of mangroves and beautiful scenery of Krabi.
There is also a fresh seafood restaurant on a raft cage for tourists to enjoy. Convenient transportation is within 10 minutes by taking a long-tail boat service at Chao Fah Pier or the Park Pier, Muang District. Tourists can use the tricycles to travel around on the island.
The highlight of Ban Koh Klang Community is the conservation of the bow boats, which is another symbol of the villagers of the Koh Klang, by using local fishing boats to adapt as tourist boats. In addition to fishing, they are also used to travel and sail to various places, as well as making “replica boats” for sale as souvenirs. These greatly increase income for the community. Moreover, there are also batik making, rice farming, cavity beekeeping, shallow pontoon fishing activities and shellfish tattooing.
Finally, we would like to thank you all for your attention. Have a good time, everybody & enjoy your life with your friends & loved ones. Bye-bye….., see you next !!! :))
