Description: |
|
Sai Khao beach is a 7-kilometer beach. It is one of the
beautiful beaches in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. The sea is
clean and clear and not so deep that people can go swimming.
Along the beach is a 5-kilometer beach road, together with
coconut garden, shrimp hatchery, and local fishermen’s boat and
shed. The tourists can experience the fishermen’s boat trip, an
ecotourism and cultural tourism. The atmosphere is so lively
that it is perfect for those who enjoy strolling along the
beach. The time when the sun rises is more beautiful than any
other time all day. In addition, from August to October, there
are always whales swimming up to the sea surface at Bo Nok
beach, around 3 hours each time. We can see them either from the
beach by binoculars or by taking the villager’s fishing boat
towards there. Those whales are black Bryde’s whales. They are
usually 10-12 meters long, have sharp mouth shape, and have
white skin under their chin and on their stomach. They are
friendly and very familiar with human. They always swim
alongside the villager’s fishing boat that passes their pod. The
Bryde’s whales live in tropical waters such as in Myanmar,
India, and Thailand. In Thailand, they can be found in the Gulf
of Thailand in Prachuap khiri Khan Province and Petchaburi
Province area. There is a theory that the presence of the
Bryde’s whales means Bo Nok Sea is still one of the rich sea in
the Gulf of Thailand; therefore, the tourists should conserve
the beach so that the Bryde’s whales can always be Thailand’s
ecotourism sources.
