Why is Pha Toh community special?
Klong Rua community offers guests an incomparable experience of life in the jungle. Pha Tot; tropical rainforest is an area rich in mineral resources and biodiversity The community boasts Thailand's second largest peat swamps, towering trees, and rare species of flora and fauna, including the rafflesia flower Community members have deep knowledge of wild foods, herbs and animal tracks.
Just as interesting as the environment is the local lifestyle, which dernands great resourcefulness and creativity The national electricity grid hasn't reached Klong Rua, so the community use solar power and water from the local waterfall, vaew Da Jon. They rely on intimate knowledge of the forest and careful management of resources to survive.
Ecotourism in Pha Toh is the result of collaborative efforts between local community members, government offices and local entrepreneurs in 2003. The project has been particularly successful in creating opportunities for local community members and park authorities to work together, and thereby proving that community based tourism can be an effective tool for conservation and the co-management of natural resources.
