Description: |
|
Along the shores of Sapphasamit Canal lays the large community
of Sakhla whose origin can be dated back to the Sukhothai or
early Ayutthaya Period. They had joined the Siamese troops in
driving out the Burmese armies and their legendary victory gave
rise to the name “Ban Sao Kla” (the brave ladies land) which
later became “Sakhla”. Cork trees, mangroves, banyans, and other
local trees make the scenery vibrant with their vivid colors.
The town is surrounded by shrimp and crab ponds.
Sakhla
wooden houses were built in the Thai traditional architectural
style. They rise above the water, their eaves beautifully
decorated with perforated design painted in beige or indigo. It
is amazing to see how all the houses can fit together in such a
small space. Each house is connected to one another by small
cement bridges across the narrow canals.
Due to its proximity
to the sea, Sakhla is abundant in seafood including various
types of crabs, shells and fishes, especially “Kung Yiat” or
stretched shrimps. It is stated that there is always Kung Yiat
as one of the ingredients in Sakhla meals. Kung Yiat’s body
stretches straight and tastes salty and sweet at the same time.
The people here eat it either with plain rice or boiled rice as
it tastes great on its own. |
