Thung Prong Thong, Rayong

Thung Prong Thong is located in the community of Ban Saem Phu, Pak Nam Prasae, Klaeng District. It covers an area of ​​over 6,000 rai, which was originally an area where villagers fished, raised shrimp, farmed, and planted fruit trees. Until the natural resources in this area were destroyed and the mangrove environment deteriorated. Pak Nam Prasae Subdistrict Municipality has collaborated with local villagers to develop the largest mangrove forest in Rayong Province into a tourist attraction for conservation and learning at the same time. By building a nature study bridge for a distance of approximately 2 kilometers. Thung Prong Thong is considered a tourist attraction that provides knowledge and understanding of the mangrove ecosystem. You can see the natural beauty of the mangrove forest, prong trees, and coastal trees. The highlight is the prong trees that grow densely all over the area, reflecting the light green color, creating a uniquely beautiful prong Thong field. The nature study trail is a bridge that stretches for approximately 1 kilometer and ends at Prasae Sea, where the HTMS Prasae is located. If walking, it takes about 1 hour, but most tourists prefer to walk to see only the prong Thong field, which takes only a few hundred meters to walk to.

This nature trail is considered an area full of mangrove forests.

It is a habitat, shelter, and nursery for aquatic animals that like to live in mangrove forests, such as shrimp, shellfish, fiddler crabs, and climbing fish. The wooden bridge winds through the mangrove forest for about 200 meters, and then you will reach the Golden Prong Field, which is full of densely packed Prong trees. The light green and yellow Prong leaves are so dense that you can barely see the ground below. When the leaves are hit by sunlight, they reflect a bright gold color, filling the entire field. At the viewpoint in the middle of this Prong field, you can see a panoramic view, as if you were surrounded by a golden field, contrasted by the dark green edges of the mangrove leaves that surround it.
