Thailand: Fishing boats at Ao Bang Nang Lom, Prachuap Khiri Khan

Bang Nang Rom Bay is located between Prachuap Khiri Khan and its satellite beach at Ao Noi. This prosperous Thai fishing village has a reputation for making excellent wooden fishing vessels by hand. Once finished, the boats are either sold to neighbouring fishing communities, or used by local fishermen to catch a prized local fish called ching chang, which is dried and then sold to South Asian buyers.
