Toh Daeng Peat Swamp Forest or Sirindhorn Peat Swamp Nature Research and Study Center is the last swamp forest in Thailand that was declared a wetland No. 1102 on July 5, 2001, covering 3 districts: Tak Bai District, Su-ngai Kolok District, and Su-ngai Padi District, Narathiwat Province.  There is an area of about 120,000 rai, but only 50,000 rai is left. Toh Daeng Peat Swamp Forest is considered a forest that is rich in plants and wildlife. Rare wildlife can only be found here and there are also many important rivers flowing through, including the Su-ngai Padi Canal, the Bang Nara River, and the Toh Daeng Canal, which is the origin of the name of the Toh Daeng Peat Swamp Forest. For a suitable time for hiking and studying the nature of Toh Daeng Swamp Forest is between February and April because it is the period when the least amount of rain makes it possible to walk comfortably in the swamp forest. Here, it is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Admission is free. There is also an exhibition room to educate tourists.

Plant Genetic Conservation Project under the Royal Initiative in the Tha Pom Klong Song Nam Forest Area

Plant Genetic Conservation Project initiated by His Majesty the King in the Tha Pom Klong Song Nam Forest Area, located in Khao Khram Sub-district, Mueang District, Krabi Province. “Tha Pom Klong Song Nam” is a large swamp forest where the ecosystem of fresh water and sea water are related. The color of the water in the canal changes color according to the rise and fall of sea water. The water in the canal is fresh and clean during normal times, but as the sea level rises and sea water pours into the canal, the water’s color changes to a stunning blue-green. The water in the canal will change to brackish water and seawater. Within Tha Pom Klong Song Nam, there is a 700-meters long nature study bridge in a circular path. Both sides of the road are surrounded by lush green forests along the canal of Tha Pom, Klong Song Nam, full of rosewater trees that spread their roots tightly along the banks alongside mangrove forests. It is also a rich food source for marine fish that swim in the canal for food and return when the tide is low. It is another swamp forest with high biodiversity.
