Don Hoi Lot

Don Hoi Lot (Thai: ดอนหอยหลอด, pronounced [dɔ̄ːn hɔ̌j lɔ̀ːt]) is a sandbar off the coast of Samut Songkhram Province at the northwestern tip of the Bay of Bangkok.

The site has the largest population of this species, which is endemic to the northern Gulf of Thailand.

Also 18 bird and 42 invertebrate species are recorded at the mudflats and the adjoining coastal mangrove forests.

Nearby, the highly revered shrine of Prince Chumphon Khet-Udomsak attracts Thai visitors.

Don Hoi Lot is named after the tubular shellfish, known as razor clams or "worm shells" in English.
