Pak Phanang, (about 30 minutes drive from Nakhon Si
Thammarat City), has a very long coast and beautiful
beaches. At Pak Phanang City there are many new
5-6 stories high buildings constructed. These buildings
are to attract swallows to make their homes and if
lucky enough thousands of swallows come in and build
their nests. As a result, the owner of the building can
get a lot of fortune from selling swallow nests.

The building shown above is the first one that swallows
came in and built their nests. After that many people
built several building, some of them still do not attract
any swallow.
