Thale Noi, a Lake and Experience in Southern Thailand. We join GoNOMAD writer Chin Leh Liang again as he takes us to a place where water is all around, Thale Noi, or 'little sea' in Thai. It's a bird sanctuary where a boatman can take you on a tour through the pink lotus blossoms floating on the water. See water buffaloes and exotic birds in this sanctuary, more than 180 species.

Thale Noi, a remarkable bird sanctuary in southern Thailand, epitomizes the serene beauty of nature, offering a unique experience for avian enthusiasts and nature lovers. This part of Thailand, aptly named 'little sea' in Thai, is a haven for over 180 species of birds, including the prevalent little cormorant, amidst a picturesque backdrop of vibrant pink lotus blossoms.

As we embark on an evocative journey alongside GoNOMAD writer Chin Leh Liang, we delve into the ecological significance of this freshwater lake, which has been designated a non-hunting zone since 1975 to protect its diverse wildlife. The optimal way to explore this aquatic paradise is by taking a leisurely boat ride at dawn, allowing us to witness the breathtaking sunrise while navigating through the lotus-laden waters, where water buffaloes and various birds abound.

Join us as we uncover Thale Noi's tranquil charm. This destination captivates all who venture into its idyllic embrace.
