Baan Laem Homestay – Mangrove Forest Conservational Community Enterprise (Baan Na Tab)
This community’s slogan “We have nothing to offer but our hearts and happiness” represents the traditional, simple fishermen’s way of life that has found a way to incorporate community tourism, all starting from the local wisdom. Part of the charm of this village is its incredible innovations; for instance, you’ll see how the fishing net has been turned into bags, clothes and many other products; mud, where crab traps are laid, is turned into cosmetic products for export; herbs and plants are turned into southern-style spice paste. Even the locally caught seafood is creatively processed and turned into best-selling products.
