The route is like an outdoor classroom. Knowledge about the mangrove forest, animal and other living things, such as mangrove trees, Samae trees, fiddler crabs, mudskippers, angle’s wings and blood cockles, is provided. Apart from these, there is the skeleton of Bluda whale species platform exhibited.
The whale habituated in the gulf of Thailand. The whale skeleton was found in Mr. Prasit Jaroenchon’s shrimp pond around Moo 8, Tombon Khok Kham, 2 kilometers from the seaside. This discovery is an evidence to prove that their area was once a deep sea. Therefore, the park asked for the permission to keep the skeleton at the building.
