Bangpoo Recreation Center It is one of Thailand's famous tourist attractions in the Gulf of Thailand. Good atmosphere, delicious seafood. For people in the city or people in the neighborhood To go on a relaxing day out by watching a flock of migratory gulls that can only be seen in one year in winter. Around November-April every year.

The Bangpu Recreation Center is famous (especially among Thais) for observing the thousands of migratory birds (Mongolian and black-headed gulls in huge numbers) that congregate here from late October until March or April. Of course, the numbers are jacked up by the fact the people regularly feed the gulls. In late afternoon, the place becomes a wild circus, with hundreds, if not thousands, of visitors, especially on weekends and holiday-. Very popular for photographing the flocks of gulls that have become quite fearless of people. Can be a great place to watch the sunset. No entry fees.

As I'm an amateur bird photographer I spent most of my time in the mangroves, which is where the most interesting birds are to be found. There are several hides, the best being the 'bird watching house' which gives a good view of the lake, where egrets, godwits, sandpipers, stilts, cormorants, painted storks and many others can be seen. At weekends the pier gets hundreds of Thai visitors, who feed the gulls that migrate there in the cool season. Very few of these visitors venture into the mangroves.
