>The mangrove forest is also home to a species of monkeys commercially known as sea monkeys. 

I personally would find watching their everyday life as a great and fun experience. As long as these cute monkeys are human friendly I wouldn’t hesitate to make their life’s a bit easier for that moment by feeding them with some treats 😆. However, since that is actually the reason they became dependent on tourist, it would probably not be the best idea. 
>The price of cockle in Thailand shot up over 400% in the past year. 

😱! And it only get worst. I believe It has just started happening all over the world. Inflation will eventually get much worse. 

Looking at all those pictures, I can see real life without any technology involved. Just like people lived many years ago. lol I like the way you rolled out in the mud. I can imagine how much fun you had. Overall, I personally love to spend my time with nature especially in forest. I would definitely enjoy spending my vacation in Mangrove forest of Samut Songkhram.
