Phatthalung

Lining the Eastern side of the Southern Thai strip, Phatthalung gets the first sunlight of the day. At Ban Pak Pra, fishermen here are still perpetuating the old-school ways of fishing, using the hand-operated shore-lining fishing frames (yo, in Thai). In the morning, the glimmering light shimmering over the surfaces of the water, shining through those frames creates sketch-like pictures perfect for photography.

This is a haven for those who love capture memories in frames and then learn all about their unique culture Ban Pak Pra is pristine with the surrounding nature a wonder. This is an unspoiled land, and one of Thailand’s most important wildlife and waterfowl reserves.
