What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Ranong Mangrove Arboretum offers a serene natural experience, particularly appreciated for its tranquil mangrove streams and the scenic drive through palm plantations. However, visitors should be aware of the overgrown paths and significant mosquito presence, which can detract from the overall enjoyment.
"This mangrove arboretum is not to visit. While the drive is quite nice and you go through palm plantations the road ends abruptly and the walking paths are overgrown and mosquito infested.
The location itself is still rather serene and if you are the kind of person to wade through actual mangrove streams not minding the muck then this might be amazing. For the unfamiliar it's just a road that ends in a collapsed bridge and tidal swirls at the edge of what appears to be a mangrove forest."
