Bang Noi Floating Community & Mangrove Homestay

Krabi, Thailand

Paddle through pristine mangrove tunnels to reach this secluded fishing village where Malay-Thai families offer authentic boat-based living experiences.

About this place

This Muslim fishing community offers unique cultural exchanges where you'll join morning prayers, learn traditional Malay-style boat building, and help harvest cockles in the mudflats. The homestay includes sleeping in traditional houses built over tidal waters and learning to navigate by reading mangrove markers. Contact Imam Hassan (074-781-043) directly for bookings - he coordinates the community tourism program and can arrange pick-up from Krabi town.
