NATURE & GASTRONOMY

 

 

 

  mangrove (woods)

 

Thailand

There are various types of mangrove, and these ones in Samut Prakan are of the Rizophora kind, known in Thai as gohng gahng bai lek (โกงกางใบเล็ก), that develop large stilt-like buttress roots (fig.).

 

In the Bay of Phang Nga, a thick forest of similar mangrove trees covers a large area that is only accessible by boat via a labyrinth of meandering waterways.
