Ao Talen

Ao Talen is a small fishing village, located in the heart of Krabi’s local mangrove ecosystem. By paddling a canoe or kayak through the intricate waterways, you can penetrate the diverse swamps and limestone karsts, highlighted by a lagoon and canyon.

The wildlife here is plentiful, and includes birds, reptiles and mammals. Of the birds frequently sighted in the mangroves, there are brown-winged kingfishers, Pacific reef egrets, Asian dowitchers and white-bellied sea eagles. The most commonly sighted mammals and reptiles are otters, macaques, gibbons and two-banded monitor lizards. In the muddy, shallow waters, fiddler crabs and mud skippers are also common. Half of full day paddling trips can be easily arranged by local operators.
