During the tour, SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has observed that Khun Hansa ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธย really having a great ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป relationship with the villagers ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซ & communicating well ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ‘ฅ๐Ÿ‘ค๐Ÿ‘ฅ with them.

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป also truly believes that Khun Hansa ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธhas chosen โœ… to lead this day tour to introduce to all guests ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ซ about this small village in a less travelledย  province ~ Samut Sakhon, Thailand ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ i.e. from the salt water ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ง gate, mangrove forest ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ , salt farm, home made seafoods ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฆ€๐Ÿฆ๐ŸŸ etc.

Khun Hansa ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธย also aims to help to boost โฌ†๏ธ the economy of this small village & increase โฌ†๏ธ the earning power ๐Ÿ’ฐ of the villagers ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ฌ here especially during the raining โ˜”๏ธ๐ŸŒง season where most of the salt farmers here will be experiencing the low โฌ‡๏ธ salt harvesting

Hmm…How’s this day tour thoughoutโ“โ‰๏ธ

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป woke up early that morning ๐Ÿ”…๐Ÿ”† & went for a local Thai “bak kut teh” breakfast ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿคค , a non-halal dish ~ herb pork ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿท๐Ÿฝ soup ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฅฃ served with riceย ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿคค It’s just a stall outside of a local Thai ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‘ซ‘s home ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿก & within walking ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ distance fromย her hotelย ๐Ÿขย namedย Bangkok Loft Innย 

This hotel ๐Ÿข is located at๐Ÿ“55 Somdet Phra Chao Taksin Rd., Bangyeerua, Thonburi, Bangkok 10600, Thailand ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ A nice ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป comfy stay ๐Ÿ›Œ๐Ÿšฟ๐Ÿšฝwith its strategic location๐Ÿ“ i.e. 5๏ธโƒฃmins walking ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ distance to the Wongwian Yai BTS skytrain station ๐Ÿš‰, very convenient ๐Ÿ†—๐Ÿ†’ More details for your hotel booking ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ›’ via ๐ŸŒ http://www.bangkokloftinn.com/ย 

Do check out her FB photos album captured from this day tour ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“ธ

After breakfast ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿคค, she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป then proceeded ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธto take the BTS skytrain ๐ŸšŠ from Wongwian Yai station ๐Ÿš‰ย Oppsss…Too early arrival ๐Ÿ”…๐Ÿ”† atย BTS stationย named Wutthakat ๐Ÿš‰, not because of the time difference ya…

Yesโœ…, she was about 1๏ธโƒฃ hour early from meet up @ 9๏ธโƒฃam to meet up with Khun Hansaย ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธย as stated in her Take Me Tour booking ๐Ÿ“Œ Just too excited ๐Ÿ˜† for the day tour, Ha…Ha…Don’t laugh ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜‚ at her ya

Yeahโ€ผ๏ธ A very niceย ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿปย morningย ๐Ÿ”…๐Ÿ”†ย view with riverย ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ง, long boatย ๐Ÿ›ถย & watย โ›ฉย from the BTS stationย ๐Ÿš‡ย during her wait for the meet up ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Hmm…She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป was a bit lazy, else she would have walk๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธto visit this wat ย โ›ฉย nearby that morning ๐Ÿ”…๐Ÿ”† Instead she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป seated down in the BTS station ๐Ÿš‰ & then logged in to her social medias ๐Ÿ“ฑ & catching up with her friends & family members ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌย with her new ๐Ÿ†• ย Thai simcard named DTAC , more details via ๐ŸŒย https://www.dtac.co.th/en/move-to-dtac/

Khun Hansa ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธย was early to arrive too, so both ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ then started this day tour slightly early that the scheduled time of 9๏ธโƒฃam

Khun Hansa ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธย is so friendly & shares the same travel passion as SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป, hence lots of common interest to chit chat ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ‘ค about during their approximately 30mins journey ๐Ÿš™ to Samut Sakhon province, also known by the locals as “Maha Chai” ๐Ÿ˜€

Both happily ๐Ÿ˜ƒ exchanged lots of respective travel stories, always a nice ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป meet & catch up with a travel lover during travel journeys ๐Ÿ˜

As you have reading ๐Ÿ“– her earlier blogging ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ“ here, she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has visited plenty of mangrove parks ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ in her home country ~ Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ

However, this is SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป‘s 1๏ธโƒฃst visit to a Thailand ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ‘s natural coastal mangrove forest ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ,ย a home to a wide variety of birds ๐Ÿฆ…๐Ÿฆ & mudskippers ๐ŸŸ๐ŸŸ & along the Gulf of Thailand ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ

Oppsss…The mudskippers ๐ŸŸ๐ŸŸ here are fat & huge, it was high tides ๐ŸŒŠ during her visit, so not able โŒ to note the colourful Hermit crabs ๐Ÿš๐Ÿฆ€crawling on the muddy field ๐Ÿ˜Œโ˜บ๏ธ

Not to missed a visit to its mini museum / perhaps more to a conservation project centre ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š with a collection of whale ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿณ skeletons, details about some small animals lived in this forest ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ before as well asย some its on-going marine conservation initiatives ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š here i.e. mangrove trees planting ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ, a bamboo ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ‹ border project to avoid further water ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ง & soil erosion to this forest ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ etc.

These eco ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š sustainable initiatives aim to buidling the bamboo borders ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ‹ within the mangrove forest ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ were observed by SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป during her visit to protect the mangroves ๐ŸŒณ being sapling from the sea waves ๐ŸŒŠ ‘ destruction, then soil erosion ๐Ÿ˜ง๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Khun Hansa ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธย also into eco tourism ๐Ÿ’š & a green person as SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป,ย so they have more conversational topics ๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ‘ค Ha…Ha…it’s rare to meet a new friend ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ with similar travel & conservation passionate ๐Ÿ˜‰

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has shared a recent sad ๐Ÿ˜” news ๐Ÿ—ž๐Ÿ“ฐ of the high โฌ†๏ธ potential of the de-gazette โŒ of Pulau Kukup Johor National Park ๐ŸŒดย to Khun Hansa ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ during this day tour, you may check out this said dissappointingย ๐Ÿ˜”ย online newsย ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ—ž๐Ÿ“ฐย viaย ๐ŸŒhttps://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2018/12/05/why-did-johor-quietly-degazette-pulau-kukup-national-park-asks-lawyers/

SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has wrote ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ“ about this Pulau Kukup Johor National Parkย ๐ŸŒด via link ๐ŸŒ https://siennylovesdrawing.wordpress.com/2018/02/18/traveloguemalaysia-pulau-kukup-tanjung-piai/

Guess whatโ“โ‰๏ธ

Khun Hansa ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธnot just a great ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป local expert in sharing her knowledge about this village, she is also a great photographer ๐Ÿ“ธ

Special thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป for theย beautiful ๐Ÿ˜ photos ๐Ÿ“ธ of SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป during this mangrove forest ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ walk๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธya ๐Ÿค—

Next, Khun Hansa ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธย also brought her to a local cafe ๐Ÿฝโ˜•๏ธย (Hmm…In Thai name which SiennyLovesDrawing is unable to share the name, refer photo below for the cafe details) by her friend named Joy ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ & her adorable shy daughter named Minnie ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿป It was a pleasure to meet them & had a quick chit chat about Joy ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ’s recent visit to her orchard plantation ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ in Central of Thailand ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ , she plants ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ for macadomia nuts ๐Ÿฅœ , coffee trees โ˜•๏ธ๐ŸŒณ, pineapples ๐Ÿ etc. Love ๐Ÿ’— all the photos ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“ฑ shared by Joy ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ, you will definitely note her passion in plantations ๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ

IMG_0237.jpg

This cafe ๐Ÿฝโ˜•๏ธ is located๐Ÿ“next to a river ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ง, it’s really relaxing ๐Ÿ˜Œ to dine ๐Ÿฝ here to enjoy ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿคค the canal view. She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป had a Thai tea ice stick โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿฆas well as try stir fried fresh vegetables ๐Ÿฅ— planted by Joy ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ with sardines ๐ŸŸ, yummy delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿคคโ€ผ๏ธ

IMG_0238.jpg

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has observed during the car ๐Ÿš™ journey towards the salt farm that some of the farmers ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ฌ here busy hand picking cockles ๐Ÿš in the farms ๐Ÿ˜„

Yeahโ€ผ๏ธ Next, she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has proceeded to visit the salt farm ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Yes โœ…, the highlight โœจof this tour & she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has been long awaited for. Hmm….Whyโ“โ‰๏ธ

This is because she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป wanted to visit salt farm in Kampot village, Cambodia ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ญ during her Phnom Penh trip in Nov. However, due to a last mins plan, no โŒ hotel available ๐Ÿข as it was the annual water ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ง festival celebration ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ , so SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป was forced to cancel โŒ the Kampot visit plan, hence no โŒ chance to have her 1๏ธโƒฃst visit to a salt farm ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜”

Everything happens for a reason, then this Take Me Tour booking ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ›’โœ… has now fulfilled ๐Ÿ†’๐Ÿ†— her wish to visit a salt farm, so happy ๐Ÿ˜ƒโ€ผ๏ธ

Salt farming is seasonal & visiting during the dry season between January to April would capture the best view ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜

Sea water ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ง is 1๏ธโƒฃst being pumping into the farms.ย  Then, the sea water ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’งwill be evaporated over a period of time, the layers of salt will be manually collected by the salt farmers ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has met with the salt farmers ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ซ’ family, learnt & discovered how the salt formed & also enjoy a home cooked lunch ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿดwith the top ๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿปnotch salt & fresh seafood ๐Ÿฆ€๐Ÿฆ๐ŸŸ served from the salt farm to table ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿคค
