Attraction Details :
This research and
study center is located in one of the last remaining peat swamp forests
in Thailand. The forest itself is expansive and is spread over three
districts, including Tak Bai, Su-ngai Kolok and Su-ngai Padi. Eighty of
the forest’s 192 square kilometers are covered by dense forests,
providing a fertile habitat for the area’s many flora and fauna. Major
waterways that pass through the area are Khlong Su-ngai Padi (a canal),
Bang Nara River and Khlong To Daeng, from which the forest derives its
name.Informative and fun nature study treks are offered here, including a 1.2 kilometer trail that begins at the research center and leads to a thrilling, suspended wooden bridge and beautiful scenery. Informative signs provide interesting facts about the local plants and provide guidance for new trekkers.
