Local lifestyle consists of the floating houses along both sides of the river with downtown located on the west bank and the enormous Ko Depo sub-district, the area of orchards and bamboo, lying on the east bank.     The inhabitants on the river earn their living by raising fish on their huge floating baskets next to their houses. The fish on the farm include the famous Pla Raad (the rhino-fish), Pla Depo and Pla Sawai. One of the most popular preserved fish products is the "golden-brown dry grilled fish" that can make a fascinating souvenir.

According to the legend, this area was coincidentally discovered by a hunter who was following a goatantelope. The plain in the middle of the valley was, at that time, covered with a thick forest of large ancient palm trees. At present, some parts of the rocks inside this cavern area have been cut out to make the way through the whole site.

	SOUVENIRS FROM UTHAITHANI Uthaithani is famous for its freshwater fish, especially Pla Raad or the rhino fish which taste considerably better than the ones of its kind from any other part of the country. They can be purchased fresh in the market or cooked to a local cuisine in a restaurant. Apart from the fish, we would also like to recommend the crispy fishy-rice cake, the crispy shrimp-flavoured rice chips, the popular heart-stimulant power prepared to the ancestor’s prescription, and the most important souvenir that shouldn’t be left out- the hand-woven cotton or silk cloth with fascinating old-time patterns- this will certainly make an impressive souvenir.
