We are delighted to announce that we have now secured our own traditional wooden boat for excusions on the local listed wetlands. The boat was hand made by local villagers from three large planks of indigenous wood with simple wooden seats, and was finally blessed by the addition of a green gecko painted on the front of the craft.

Local villagers can now take visitors out onto the hidden lake to watch fishermen at work, to spot rare birds darting down over the clear waters or to get up close and personal with wallowing water buffalo. The shallow wooden boat glides effortlessly through the swamp-like waters which are covered by patches of bright green grasses and waterplants, and, in the cooler months, the boat offers a breathtaking experience as it proceeds through the calm waters covered in a thick, magical carpet of stunning pink lotus blooms.Thailand boat at Gecko Villa
