Located on the eastern side of Thailand's southern coast, Phatthalung welcomes the first rays of the day. In Ban Pak Pra, the fishermen still adhere to traditional fishing methods, using hand-operated fish traps (called yo in Thai) fixed to the shore. In the mornings, the glittering light filtering through the traps onto the water's surface creates sketchy images – a perfect photo opportunity.

Ban Pak Pra is a paradise for anyone who loves capturing memories in photographs and wants to experience the region's unique culture. The pristine nature is a true wonder. This area is one of Thailand's most important wildlife and waterbird sanctuaries.
