Thousands of fiddler crabs were seen skittering across a peaceful beach that has been deserted during the coronavirus pandemic in southern Thailand.<br /><br />Conservationists noticed the crustaceans on the Ao Luek Beach in Krabi province - an area that is normally packed with holidaymakers but has been quiet due to Covid-19.<br /><br />Niwat Watthayomnayom, a member of advisory committee from on culture and conservation, visited the beach with his team on May 24.<br /><br />He said the incredible phenomenon can only be seen at certain times when the tide goes out and the beach is quiet.<br /><br />Niwat said: "The fiddler crabs will show up when the area is free from humans. We have agreed to monitor the creatures closely and prevent travelers from interrupting them."<br /><br />The area will welcome tourists again once the Covid-19 pandemic has passed.
