The village of Tung Yee Peng lies on the east coast of Koh Lanta. A bridge welcomes visitors, and on the other side, a concrete path winds through the mangroves. Alternatively, you can take a longboat with a local guide through the small channels into the mangroves and explore the nearby islands of Koh Aung, Koh Talabeng with its caves, and Koh Bu Bu. Kayaks can be rented directly at the ticket office. The mangrove roots provide a tranquil and protected habitat for fish, crabs, oysters, lobsters, and shrimp. The forest also serves as a refuge for reptiles, mammals, and birds, and protects the coastline from erosion. For ecotourism enthusiasts, interesting activities are offered (outside of the off-season), such as building fish houses and planting seagrass. A stilt restaurant, renowned for its location and cuisine (especially seafood), is situated amidst the mangroves.

Entrance fee: 20 THB (free with boat trip) Boat trip from 500 THB (half day) Kayak: 300 THB (3 hours) Overnight camping possible for 100 THB
