What to visit in south-west Thailand?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you happen to be in the area, don't miss a stroll through the Thung Khai Botanic Garden<\/strong>, also known as the Peninsular Botanic Garden. Located on the edge of Trang City, it's easily reached by cab or TukTuk.
The 3 kilometers of trails through various regional biotopes take 1 to 2 hours to cover. Naturalists will also find a botanical library and a plant museum.
The Thung Khai Botanical Garden walk begins with a fairly airy forest featuring a variety of tree species (and if you'd like to learn more about the local species, there are signs with QR codes that provide detailed info).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canopy walk <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The trail takes us to the foot of the stairs of the first observation tower, which rises to a height of 10 metres and is linked to the second observation tower by a footbridge. This suspended footbridge enables you to discover the middle level of the forest, walk at the height of the tree's foliage, and observe butterflies, small birds, and various insects.
For those who fear heights, a path firmly anchored in the ground follows the footbridge.
Each observation tower takes us a little higher, ending up 18 meters above the treetops, where we can admire a new stratum of the rainforest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the mangrove swamp<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Change of scenery. The last part of the tour takes us through a dense, humid forest in a swampy mangrove area. If you look hard enough, you'll discover small wild orchids and carnivorous plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the walk, you come to a small square with a caf\u00e9 next to the main entrance.
It's rare to come across many people here, as the place is calm and far from mass tourism and civilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
