Hafiz is a national treasure, period. I joined his firefly tour and it was an eye opening experience, even for a local. He was passionate about fireflies and that is important for the conservation of the mangrove forest nearby. Highly recommended.

Very few fireflies but sailing in the mangrove is nice. Many canoes at the same time, we even had a boat accident, more fear than harm

ツアーの前の説明でガイドのおじさんが、「蛍とコミュニケーションがとれるので蛍を集めることができる」と豪語していて、本当か？と思っていたが本当に蛍が集まってきたのにはびっくりした。
チュラティンに行くなら一見の価値あり。
