Tan Network 2011-09-26

The local administration and many businesses in Prachinburi are planing to turn some flood-ravaged areas in the province into destinations for ecotourism.

Under support from the Tourism Authority of Thailand , the Prachinburi Provincial Administration and Prachinburi Tourism Business Association, a new ecotourism bicycle route has been opened.

The route runs from E-to Mountain to the Khao Wa En Air Sports Center in Si Maha Phot District, which is a well-known training facility for skydiving, paramotoring and paragliding.

The route starts from E-to Mountain, known among bicyclists as “Mecca of Cycling.”

It is located near Bangkok and a round trip from the capital takes only a day ride.

There are many mountain-biking routes, ranging from asphalt roads, jungle, single tracks to the popular one to Khao E-to Falls with many breathtaking view points along the way.

President of Prachinburi Tourism Business Association, Poonpol Paethong, said there is a large variety of tourist attractions on land, in water or up in the air.

Tourists can choose to take part in any of these activities safely.

Moreover, Prachinburi has other exciting adventures, such as whitewater rafting at Kaeng Hin Poeng rapids in Na Dee District.

It is open from July to October every year.
