| Phang Nga Bay still offers some of the best cultural encounters anywhere in Thailand. You can participate in a Community Involvement Programs which include working with the Homestay Project and the local highschool. Your involvement will make a difference!
You can learn how to process rubber from start to finish. First you'll tap the tree with a specially-designed cutting tool. The rubber flows into a cup. Next, you fill pans with the raw latex and add a compound that causes it to coagulate. Once firm, you walk on the rectangular blob to pre-flatten it. The final step is to run the rubber through ringers to make mats. Hang these mats out to cure and you've processed rubber. You'll
also get to help re-plant a barren mudflat with mangrove trees. Mangrove
forests are the nursery for the ocean and are considered the first
link in the chain of life for the sea. It is imperative that they
remain intact and healthy. By planting mangrove trees you’ll
help restore the natural balance that Nature originally supplied.
This planting takes place behind the local high school. You’ll
also walk through the school’s science museum and the local
students will help explain everything you’ll see in their school
museum.
You can help - You can make a difference in someone's life and you can have a good time doing it!
