We assure that it is worth visiting because of its tranquil location near the sea. Visitors can enjoy their time with fresh air, atmosphere, delicious food, and kind villagers who will take care and facilitate them their best. Ban Laem Homestay is a Muslim village, led by Mr.Taksin, a pioneer in managing ecotourism here. The project is well collaborated by other villagers, so Ban Laem has become an interesting village and a newly developed.

Let's take a look about the special things in Ban Laem Homestay. First, Ban Laem Homestay provides many types of recommended accommodation such as staying with the locals, or private living in houses with a lot of choices: small, big, or air-conditioned houses with complete facilities. Having a rest at this place will lead you to exclusively feel the local life of villagers. When you wake up in the morning, you will see the villagers set their fishing boat and prepare themselves to begin the day.
The first activity in the morning for visitors is taking a boat trip to observe sunrise. The boat is not a luxurious one but it is full of the enchantment of fisherman life.
There are the romantic moment in the morning. Local breakfast is also provided for you such as fried chicken with sticky rice, sticky rice with custard, and the recommended food as steamed rice with curry. This moment is special because you move your morning tea moment from a simple table to the boat with the beautiful sunrise time. It is a gorgeous day.
The next activity is the highlight of Ban Lam Homestay which is mud spa. The boat will float at mid-sea above the sand dunes; you can walk down and stand on the mud dune to experience mud spa. This mud spa is also called Thong-Kam bay or Golden Bay. The useful mud is under 30 cm. deep from the surface. This mud is unique and different from other places because of the greyish, soft touch, and velvety texture. It’s odorless, and certified to be safe to use. If you mask it on your skin for 15 minutes, it will brighten your skin.
There are many products made from the mud, such as, mud soap, mud facial foam, mud shampoo, and mud body lotion.
The next activity is mangrove planting. Visitors surely feel proud to be part of mangrove forest development along the shore. It is the natural friendly activity which should not be missed. Ban Laem Homestay can also be called the eco-tourism attraction full of plants and wildlife. On the way back to the shore, we appear the best moment to take a sight of the mangrove forest and mangrove wildlife, which can hardly be seen nowadays.
Ban Laem’s lunch service is fresh, deliciously seasoned seafood specially serviced.
Another recommended menu is batter-fried mangrove leaves. We pick up mangrove leaves and bring them to the kitchen. The edible mangrove leaves are the ones being picked at the right time; not too old or too green.
Ban Lam Homestay organizes a local trip to the local curry paste maker nearby. Among the seven kinds of curry pastes, Masamun is the best seller. These pastes are dispatched all over Thailand by Kerry Express shipping service. Moreover, they also receive the order from Singapore every month. As earlier mentioned this place is simple and plain but there are more in details to represent local life to both Thai people and foreigners to the worldwide.
The next interesting spot is Mulberry garden at Wan Lee garden house. There are a lot of mulberry trees, and you can pick up the fruit and taste, how fresh they are! Some of them are transformed into mulberry jam.
After finishing from the mulberry park, let's move to see how to weave the trawl. It is the one and only in Thailand. There are products made from natural material as the top of palm leaves. The process requires the leaves to be sun dried before taking them to the knitting into the designed forms, such as hat, bag, bundle, tissue box, and multipurpose box. The material is quite quality with strong and lasting. The material is strong and long lasting, the quality that makes it becoming more popular.
All the examples above should lure you to visit Ban Laem Homestay.
