U Minh Thuong National Park

The protected area spans 8,053 hectares of wetlands and dense mangrove forests within the Mekong Delta ecosystem, featuring rare plant and animal species.

The land formerly known as Thap Cau contained ten major canals flowing into the Gulf of Thailand before its designation as a national park in 2002.

Three ethnic groups - Kinh, Chinese, and Khmer - maintain traditional practices of beekeeping and fishing throughout the protected wetlands of the park.

Visitors can access walking trails, birdwatching towers, and guided tours through the park, which lies 50 kilometers from Rach Gia city.

The park contains a specialized peat swamp ecosystem that supports 254 plant species, 188 bird species, and 64 fish species in its waters.
