FTH-005A SURAT THANI Day Trip Wisdom of Tapi River (ITB)

“Wisdom of Tapi River”

Thailand’s southern Surat Thani province is wellknown for its tropical islands located just offshore that millions of holiday-makers flock to every year. But onshore, you’ll find an abundance of natural resources and attractions waiting to be discovered, from the clear lagoons and thick mangrove forests to a variety of farms and wild jungles. And feeding the area with rich nutrients, essential for keeping the ecosystem thriving, is the magnificent Tapi River.

On this program, you’ll cruise along the Tapi River to see the true Surat Thani lifestyle, while learning from the wisdom and culture of the locals. With the close relationship between the people and the river, which flows through the south to meet the Gulf of Thailand, this passage of water has been crucial for both wildlife and economy of this part of Thailand for centuries. As a result, a wide range of tropical ingredients can be found from the sea, river,

and the mountains – you name it. It’s no surprise why there are so many famous Southern Thai dishes waiting for you to try around the Tapi River and its network of canals.
