Bung Boraphet

BuengBoraphet, or Boraphet Marsh, is the largest freshwater lake in Thailand, boating over 200 square kilometres of land and earning it the moniker of "Northern Sea" or "Great Lake". Almost 200 species of animals and plants have been found in the area, the rarest including the white-eyed river martin and the Siamese Tiger Fish. In March, fluttering grebes migrate to the lake, also home to Asian Open Bills and Pheasant-Winged Jacanas.The nearby BuengBoraphet Waterfowls Park, where hunting is prohibited, contains a nature study center for birdwatchers or the curious amateur. Also close by is the Bung Boraphet Fishery Development Station, where visitors can observe a crocodile breeding pond. Bird-watching tours as well as boat tours are also available.
