What we’re about
https://www.facebook.com/BangkokHiking/
This is a group for anyone interested in hiking in Thailand. All skill levels are welcome, but you should be physically active and able to do intermediate to moderately strenuous hikes. I started this group to meet other outdoor enthusiasts. I would like to plan day trips/overnight trips from Bangkok on the weekends (especially holiday weekends) to explore the beautiful natural areas of Thailand. Anyone with experience or knowledge of Thailand's nature areas and an interest in the outdoors is encouraged to join!

About the Whales & Boat Trip- August through October offers a higher likelihood of seeing Bryde’s whales frequently.
- The Western Gulf of Thailand Marine and Coastal Resources Research Center of Thailand states that July to November is the ideal season to watch Bryde’s whales.
- Mainly because it’s when fish and shellfishes like krill and anchovy are most abundant, Bryde’s whales swim to the sea’s surface.
- The pod of whale live 15-30km away from the land.
- There are currently 61 whales living in the area.
- It takes around 30-40 minutes (15km) from the land to searching zone. depend on current etc. to reach where the whales live.
- After entering the zone, we are going to slow down, and start searching, the captain will be a person who search for the whale, they normally look at the birds to locate the whale location.
- The closest we can get to the whale is 30 meters.
- once we get close to the whale, we need to turn off the engine, and stay quite, as the whale are sensitive to the sound.
- We are going to spend between 3-5 hours on this trip, which is enough time to cover the whole area of the whale habitat. Then we return to the pier.
- The faster we find the whale, the faster we can return to the land,
- The maximum time we are spending on the boat is 5hr or until we cover the area
- There’s about 10% chance, that we won’t see anything.
- August to October are the great months to see the whale eating, which is the picture that all the photographers want to see most.
