The first thing to note at Thung Yee Pheng is that the entrance fee is the same for foreigners as Thai visitors and that is rare in Thailand! 40 THB is very good value. Certainly, this attraction is improving from when we first visited and it’s possible to walk through the mangroves or hire a boat or kayak. We chose to walk and being low tide, the intricate patterns of the mangrove tree roots were very much in evidence. On the whole, the walk is in the shade and the mud is alive with tiny crabs and other mud dwellers. We could hear monkeys but, on this visit, they weren’t in evidence. If they do appear, take care particularly if they have young with them. Strolling around takes about an hour. Parking as by the entrance and nearby is a section illustrating the history of the mangrove forest. Well worth visiting.

We arrived by scooter . Paid the 40 baht per person entry fee to walk the mangroves. Easy access with paths throughout . Went down to Cat cafe which is on the water made from ramshackle bits of wood to support the restaurant and 3 resident cats. Hired a long tail boat for 1000 baht an hour . Awesome relaxing trip through the mangroves . 2 monkeys swam onto the boat!! We fed them watermelon and pineapple from the boat guy. Went back after chugging along in the dodgy wooden long tail and had a great lunch at cat cafe again. 1000 baht was a bargain for 2 people and the experience we had. Thoroughly recommend this.

We first went down to Mu Ko Lanta National Park. We walked 20 flights of stairs up the mountain with giant steps, then we turned back. You should be younger if you're going all the way. A quick visit to Old Town was also a good idea. Went out on the pier. Finally we were going to Mangrove Forest by longtail boat and it was a nice little trip. Many monkeys at the edge of the mangrove. A monkey swam out to the boat and jumped into the boat.
