About this place

This 100-year-old canal community offers genuine homestays where you'll sleep in traditional teak houses over the water and learn to make Kanom Krok (coconut pancakes) from elderly artisans. Contact Ajarn Malee at 032-425-017 for homestay bookings - she speaks basic English and arranges canal tours in traditional row boats. The community is famous for their palm sugar production, and you can participate in the tapping process at dawn.
