Bang Poo Nature Reserve
If you’re in Bangkok and fancy a day out head to Bang Poo Nature Reserve. It’s not that far, and it’s great for bird-watching.
I went there with a friend in September and, to be honest, it isn’t the most attractive places and, apart from a jetty with a restaurant at the far end, there isn’t much there. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a few hours tramping around the mangroves and pathways. In parts, there are elevated walkways that take you through the mangroves and end with views of the Gulf of Thailand.
There are a fair few species of birds and, although this area may not be an obvious birding location, over a 100 different species have been spotted there.
It’s a great day out. Enjoy the birds and the nature 🙂

It’s such a shame! I find it all very sad and worrying when habitats are destroyed and creatures getting poisoned. Humans don’t think or care that they are also destroying the planet 🙁
Such a great variety of wildlife, and enough space for bonding with nature. Amazing xx
Thank you for commenting. I am always amazed at how much wildlife there is not too far from the city xx
Here in Ireland there is almost no wildlife left. Can’t remember the last time I saw a frog. So sad. Glad you had such a great time xx
That is very sad indeed. Why is that?? Local habitats being destroyed?? xx
Poisoned, I would guess. And the habitats, of course.
Poisoned, is my guess. I went for a three hour walk today with the beautiful countryside all around. I saw one rabbit, and was happy as a child. 15-20 years ago there would be a hundred of them.
Great photos! It looks like a great escape from the hustle of Bangkok.
I love the way they use natural material such as Bamboo effectively.
Thank you so much, You would never know the hustle and bustle is only a few kilometres away 🙂
