Andaman Thailand Islands are part
of the Indian Ocean bordering India,
Bangladesh, Myanmar and Thailand.
Southern Thailand's Andaman sea is the
right travel destination for diving and
beachcombers.
You can have live aboard scuba diving
trips to the Similan Islands,
Surin Islands, Tarutao archipelago,
Phuket - Pearl of the Andaman
Sea - and countless other places.
A trip into the
Andaman
Sea bring you to one of the last
underwater paradise. In this part of the
Indian Ocean you have a island
world where you can play Robinson, do
exotic island exploration, cruising the
Andaman sea, do coral diving, fishing,
big game fishing, sailing, and still
find another unexplored and untouched
place with exotic beaches, warm turquoise waters and lush tropical jungles, that means dream vacation
await you. Andaman is not only used for the Thailand part of
the Indian Ocean, its also Indian
Andaman and
Myanmar Andaman
Sea.
We also bring information, on the top scuba diving areas
in southern Thailand's Andaman Sea, such
as
Richelieu rock near
Surin Islands
about 100 km north of
Similan
and more beautiful places in southern Thailand. A journey
into the southern Thailand and Myanmar
underwater world at its best.
The
Andaman Sea coast in southern Thailand has
spectacular sights,
attractive fishing
villages and some great Archipelagos
a couple of
kilometers offshore
and
beautiful
beaches. On the Thai Andaman sea coast from Phuket |
|
|
to the north are the
Similan Islands, about 100 km after is the Surin
Archipelago with on of the few sea gypsy villages
left and again further north on the
Myanmar side are around 800 untouched islands. Every winter
season the tourists from all over
the world flock into this scenic sea coast area, its
one of Thailand’s main tourist spots.
The Andaman
coastline
from Ranong
on the
border with
Myanmar
all the way
south to the
Malaysian
boarder is
approximately
900
kilometers
long.
Kilometers
of beaches
welcome the
visitors and
of course
the Thai
people
welcome the
foreigners
too since
many Thai
people make
their money
for living
with the
foreigners. In every
village and
towns are
seafood
restaurants
to serve
fresh catch,
very tasty
are the
barracuda
steaks in
the Phuket
and Khao Lak
area. There
are
countless
beach
resorts on
the Andaman
coast with
beach
bungalows
and
cottages.
Plus the
other
accommodation
such |
Khao Lak |
as
hotels
and
apartments.
Driving from
Ranong south
to Phuket
across the
Sarasin
Bridge to
Phuket
Island. The
bridge is
nothing
special by
itself but
from
the
bridge
the
view
over
the
emerald
water
with
the
Yacht
Haven
Marina
in
the
distance is a
real
eye
catcher. The bridge is the
only direct link
from the Thai
mainland to Phuket
Island and spans
over the waterway
which is also the
northern entrance to
the Phang Nga Bay,
about 3 kilometer to
the east are several
yachts docking at
Yacht Haven Marina,
one of the half
dozen private
marinas on Phuket
Island. Crystal clear
water and long sandy
beaches are
practically
everywhere on this
stretch of the
Andaman coast.
Swimming,
snorkeling, scuba
diving, paragliding,
kite surfing,
surfing, sailing and
so on are the main
tourist activities.

At the old town
of Phuket called
Phuket City
the
remains of the tin
mining era are still
visible. On the one
side as beautiful
huge villas in
Sino-Portuguese
style built by rich
Chinese merchants
during the tin
boom and on the other side lots of small Chinese styles houses and several temples.
Phuket has a long history and was already mentioned by Claudius Ptolemy since the island is en route from Europe to south east Asia and was used as a point to relax and restock by many seafarer.
The Similan
islands
are probably the
best location if you
like scuba and
snorkeling plus
secluded beaches.
The tropical waters
around the Similan
islands are among
the top 10 dive
destinations on
earth. Similan
beaches stand for
