A Half-Day Journey Through Time and Nature. Takua Pa Old Town and Little Amazon are two of the most captivating destinations in Thailand. The old town is a living testament to the region’s rich history and culture, while Little Amazon is a stunning mangrove forest teeming with wildlife. On this half-day sightseeing tour, you will have the opportunity to experience the best of both worlds.
At its peak, Takua Pa was home to hundreds of tin mines, and the town was bustling with activity. However, the tin mining industry began to decline in the early 20th century, due to falling prices and the depletion of resources. Today, there are only a few small-scale tin mines still operating in Takua Pa.
Despite the decline of the tin mining industry, Takua Pa’s mining heritage remains evident in the town’s architecture and culture. Many of the buildings in the old town were built by wealthy tin mine owners, and the town’s temples and museums house artifacts from the tin mining era.
Visitors to Takua Pa can learn more about the town’s tin mining history at the Takua Pa Historical Museum, which features exhibits on the town’s geology, mining methods, and the lives of the miners. Visitors can also take a guided tour of one of the abandoned tin mines in the area.
Takua Pa’s tin mining history is an important part of the town’s identity, and it continues to shape the town’s culture and economy today.
Your adventure begins with a Canoeing through the Little Amazon mangrove forest. As you glide through the narrow water channels, you will be surrounded by lush greenery and diverse wildlife. Keep an eye out for monkeys swinging from the branches, snakes gliding through the water, and birds soaring overhead.
Your experienced local guide will navigate you through this enchanting world and ensure that you don’t miss any of the natural wonders.
After your paddle through Little Amazon, you will head to Takua Pa Old Town. This historic district is a treasure trove of well-preserved buildings, ornate temples, and charming shophouses.
As you stroll through the streets, you will feel like you have stepped back in time. The Sino-Portuguese architecture, traditions, and beliefs are evident in every corner.
You will have ample time to explore the old town, visit the temples, and take in the vibrant atmosphere. There are also opportunities to shop for souvenirs and sample the local cuisine.
Your tour will conclude with a visit to the Tsunami Memorial in Baan Namkem. This memorial is a reminder of the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that struck the region.
