点评:Picked up at my hotel promptly at 8:30am and drove 15-20minutes to Mangrove Park to the south of Hua Hin seeing a little more of the Thai country living until we arrived at an 100 year old preserve favored by recent Thai king and queen. This included a leisurely stroll on a teak wood catwalk over the water through a mangrove forest. It was VERY quiet. Mangrove grow in a fresh and salt water (brackish) biome that has abundant life in the mud. Mostly tiny crabs that are eaten by birds and fish that come I. On the tides.
After the stroll we went to the bespoke Sea-cret Marina with (3) tourist cruise boats. We went in the smallest 10 passenger boat for a short one hour river cruise down to the fishing harbour and back viewing the huge fleet of mostly squid fishing boats that light up green offshore at night to attract the squid.
There was coffee and fresh danish and fresh cut watermelon and mango to munch as we cruised by the river landscape.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable morning arriving fresh back to my hotel in Hua Hin before noon.
I would like to come back and take the ocean cruise and enjoy a meal on board as the Thai chef described several delicious sounding dishes that are served onboard.
翻译:早上8:30准时到酒店接我,驱车15-20分钟前往华欣南部的红树林公园。沿途感受了更多泰国乡村生活气息,最终抵达这片拥有百年历史的保护区,这里曾是泰国国王和王后钟爱的去处。我们沿着柚木栈道悠闲漫步于红树林中,栈道横跨水面,景色宜人。这里非常安静。红树林生长在淡水和咸水(半咸水)交汇的生态系统中,淤泥里生物丰富,主要是一些小螃蟹,它们是鸟类和鱼类的食物,随着潮汐涨落而来。
漫步之后,我们前往拥有三艘旅游游船的特色码头——Sea-cret Marina。我们乘坐最小的10人游船,进行了一小时的短途河上巡游,前往渔港,然后返回。沿途可以看到庞大的渔船队,这些渔船大多捕捞鱿鱼,夜晚在近海会亮起绿灯吸引鱿鱼。
我们乘船游览河畔风光时,享用了咖啡、新鲜出炉的丹麦酥、鲜切西瓜和芒果。
这是一个非常愉快的上午,中午前就精神抖擞地回到了华欣的酒店。
我真想再来一次,乘坐游轮体验海上巡游,并在船上享用美食。那位泰国厨师描述的几道菜肴听起来都非常美味。
