Ko Libong : Trang Province

Do you want to swim with Dugongs?? Oh .. yeah you can
swim with them in Ko Libong.Ko Libong is the only place
in Thailand where you will have a chance to spot the
endangered dugong. This gentle marine mammal, also
know endearingly as a seacow and mistaken as a
mermaid. There are not a lot left. The latest survey
gave a 129 head count. Dugong flesh is considered a
delicacy to many seamen, its teeth are believed to
bring good luck, and its “tear” is sought after as a
love potion. Sightings depend much on luck, but
fortunately for dugong enthusiasts and researcher,
the animal tend to cluster around the area, between
Ao Pan Yang and Na Ban, where sea grass is most
important. This mammal, Dugong, becomes the
mascot of Trang province.Ko Libong is also renowned
as a hub for migratory birds from Siberia. Boat trip
there often makes a short stopover at Hin Tok, a
small compound of half-submerged trees where
you may see branched covered with perching birds.
Anyway, I think you would like to know how to get
there, don’t you ? First of all you have to fly or take
a bus to Trang province and then take a van to
Hat Yao Pier. Remind that the boats run till 4 p.m.
you should have to manage your time quite well.

Rain in Summer

April is the hottest month of the year in Thailand
but today its rain in everywhere of Bangkok and
some areas in Thailand.  Is it because of the world
climate change? No, it isn’t.  The true story is a trough
of active low pressure lies across the northern, upper
central and lower northeastern Thailand. Abundant rain
is likely over the mention areas with heavy rain in some
area.No one knows how many days for raining but be
careful when you travels around Bangkok.
You should bring your umbrella when go outside.
