You can zoom in and out on this map to find the best way to get there. As you zoom in the roads will be labeled and it is easy to map out a route.
I cannot imagine what this park must of been like years ago. I bet it was amazing. Now? It is a decent park at best. You need to time your visits just right to find the birds here.
The mangrove board walk is closed. The walkway over the small inlet is gone, making it impossible to explore the mangrove forests ( a real shame ). But, you have to make the best of it.
Woodpeckers, Pied Hornbills, and very infrequent now is the Mangrove Pitta. Are here in this small park.
The mangrove forest around the park is used as a dump site by the locals, Nasty! Also the forest around the small town is being destroyed very fast.
To really explore this area you need a boat. I am thinking of buying a small inflatable boat and spending some tine in and around the mangrove forests here? I imagine with a boat and a few months exploring you could find some very nice wildlife here. And get some very nice photos. I enjoy photography more than birding. I have learned to bird because I like to photograph them.

Mangrove pitta (Pitta megarhyncha)
This is the start of the rainy season here in Thailand. These guys finally crossed the river to the park. Nice to see them here, and a treat to photograph them.

Laced woodpecker (Picus vittatus) female
These guy's are a shoe in when at the park. Just spend a little time looking and they will pop up.

Black-and-red broadbill (Cymbirhynchus macrorhynchos)
These guys are in the park. Hard to find for the most part. But, I found a nesting pair and called this guy in easily.

Brown-winged kingfisher (Pelargopsis amauroptera)
This is a resident here. Walk around in the dry season and he will turn up eventually.

Olive-winged bulbul (Pycnonotus plumosus)
Easy to spot and take in the park.

This is a rather strange park. It is used as a loading dock for trips to the islands now. Rather disappointing for me to see it deteriorate into this state.
