A mangrove and bay conservation center initiated by the Thai king, with a mangrove boardwalk and a marine aquarium.
The study center is built on Kung Krabaen Bay and showcases mangrove ecological restoration and sustainable fishing. A roughly 1.8 km mangrove boardwalk passes through dense forest, where fiddler crabs, mudskippers, and waterbirds can be seen. The aquarium inside displays local marine life. Admission to both is free. Visitors can cycle around the bay. It is about 5 km from Chao Lao Beach and is often visited on the same day.
