Tha Sadet Bird Sanctuary
The bird sanctuary is in Ban Tha Sadet, Tambon Sa Kaeo, 15 kilometres from downtown along Highway 322. The sanctuary is located in private fruit orchards whose owners are kind enough to let the birds live undisturbed. For over 40 years, the bird population has risen from a handful amount to thousands. Visitors can see various kinds of birds such as heron, Asian openbill, ibis, and stork. Presently, the area has been developed as an attraction of the province under the management of the Royal Forestry Department. Visitors can witness a large number of birds from the watch tower, particularly when they blacken the sky at dusk. In every October, the sanctuary will be crowded with migratory birds. |
