Ban Talay Noi Rayong Hi Tourism Community
Rayong
Sip on some chilled Indian marsh fleabane tea, accompanied by “Kanom pob rak” made from banana and toddy palm fruit in coconut milk. Hear the history of Ban Talay Noi, an old community in the Prasae delta that dates back to the Ayutthaya period. This is a historical tourism community that follows the Sufficiency Economy Principle, beautifully combined with the simple coastal life. Hop onboard a raft and float along the water as you spot thousands of red eagles flying over the mangrove forest on both sides of Prasae river. Learn how the shallow-water fishery works as well as a local practice of making sun-dried salty fish and simple vegetables (like the common cocklebur) grown on the edge of the rice fields.
