Thung Prong Thong, the lungs of the Klaeng people

🌿Thung Prong Thong is located in Pak Nam Prasae Subdistrict, Klaeng District, Rayong Province. An area of ​​over 6,000 rai that was once degraded by fishing and other agricultural activities has been developed into the largest mangrove forest in Rayong Province. The name “Thung Prong Thong” comes from the Prong tree because the tops of the Prong trees are light green with a yellow tint. When exposed to sunlight, they appear light yellow as far as the eye can see. In addition, there are many mangrove trees, making them a good nursery for animals. They are also the lungs of Klaeng and Rayong Province because they can produce a large amount of oxygen from photosynthesis by plants in this mangrove forest. It is also a conservation and low-carbon tourism destination with a walking path of about 2 kilometers under the shade of the trees in Thung Prong Thong. You can fully immerse yourself in nature, including the abundance of trees, the sound of shrimp croaking in the forest, and crabs crawling on the roots of the mangrove trees. There is also an observation tower where you can enjoy the panoramic view. There is also the Shrine of Chao Pho Saem Phu, a sacred object that the villagers have revered since ancient times. Located in this mangrove forest, at the exit, you will also find the HTMS Prasae. For those who want to travel for relaxation, I would recommend this place. 🩷 #visitRayong
