Description

A local entrepreneurship stimulus program(OTOP) center of Ban Koh Klang. If you travel from the pier or “Kidthung Cottage”, you will first come across the Sang Yod Rice Farmers Center which is an organic and chemical-free rice. However, on the day we went to the group, there was a little work so it was not open for visitors. Next is the Tradition of Long-tailed boats community arts. In the past, the people of Koh Klang liked to use long-tailed boats for fishing and traveling. However, at present, the occupation of building long-tailed boats has decreased and the original style of long-tailed boats is hard to find.

The villagers therefore gathered to make a replica of a long-tailed boat, with Bang Sombun as the pioneer in building a replica of a long-tailed boat, using the knowledge he inherited from his father, a boat builder from Koh Klang with a long experience.

Tourists will learn about the history and background of the boats that are the symbol of Krabi Province. The replica of a long-tailed boat from Koh Klang has been developed into a 4-star OTOP product that has brought fame to the province. In addition to the long-tailed boats, you will also get to know another product that is a local wisdom of Koh Klang, which is a fire starter or an ancient fire-starting device. The equipment used to make it is from the tip of a buffalo's horn, by drilling a hole and using a round piece of wood that fits the hole. Then use the remains of a forest tree that can be found everywhere as a fuse to start the fire.
