6 THAILAND ประเทศไทย

7 Phuket Phuket, lying eight hundred and seventy kilometers south from Bangkok, is Thailand's largest island, as well as being the country's smallest province. Today, Phuket is a vibrant, intrinsic and multi-cultural tourist destination. Being approximately twenty-one km in width by fortyeight km in length, the typical landscape of Phuket is one of forested hills, coconut groves and rubber tree plantations. The Islands coastline is dotted with numerous spectacular beaches. The surrounding waters of the Andaman Sea contain an incredible variety of marine life, which have become renowned for offering world-class scuba diving. Phuket Island and its thirty-two smaller islands form Phuket Province, giving a total area of five hundred and seventy square kilometers. For yacht berthing in Phuket, we recommend the Yacht Haven Marina, which is situated on the Northeast coast of Phuket. The marina is within close proximity to the majestic limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay. The Yacht Haven is Phuket s best deep water access marina. The marina is currently capable of taking yachts of up to 80 meters in length, and 5-meter draft. There are plans to greatly expand their Superyacht dock space and marina facilities in the coming year or two.

8 Phang Nga and Krabi Phang Nga Bay is renowned for its one hundred or so monolithic limestone karst islets. The area offers breath-taking scenery and is classed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the many attractions in the itinerary of Phang Nga Bay would be seakayaking amongst the many islands and caves, which open out to reveal hidden 'Hongs' - open air lagoons with sheer limestone walls. Visiting the traditional stilted Muslim fishing village of Koh Panyi for a fresh seafood lunch is also well worthwhile. Most famous of all the highlights is James Bond Island, featured in The Man with the Golden Gun. Six Senses Resort offers a wellness Spa treatment at their exclusive five-star Island resort on Koh Yao Noi Island. Krabi Province, Sailing just an hour or so southeast from Phang Nga is the Province of Krabi. Similar in many respects to Phang Nga bay, Krabi also offers limestone islands of stunning degrees, but added to this are some beautiful powder white beaches, with crystal clear water for snorkeling and scuba diving. Krabi province also offers good land excursions for guest wanting to explore. Tiger Cave Temple, Hot Spring waterfall and the Emerald Pool are just some of the natural attractions awaiting those with an adventurous spirit. Within the coastal boundaries of Krabi province lie some dream islands. Phi Phi Islands is probably the most recognizable and beautiful of all, but further to the south are Lanta Yai and Lanta Noi islands. Koh Lanta offers a couple of great dive sites known as Hin Daeng Red Rock, due to the profuseness of the abundant Red soft corals growing there. Whale Sharks are often spotted by divers at Hin Daeng.

9 Similan and Surin Islands The Similan Islands lie approximately 55Nm northwest of Phuket in the Andaman Sea. In 1982, the 90 Sq.Nm reserve comprising the Similans was declared a Marine National Park. In recent years this group of nine small islands has become one of the leading attractions for scuba divers to Thailand. It is rated as one of the top-ten dive sites in the world. During the high season months, water clarity for divers can be between meters. Manta Rays, Whale sharks and other large pelagic fish can all be found in residence around the islands. Other attractions include pristine coral reefs, power white beaches, small trekking excursions and snorkeling. The Surin Islands, archipelago is a 95Sq.Nm Marine National Park, located in the Andaman Sea, some 35Nm off of the Thai coast. Belonging to Ranong Province, the park's five islands lie just a few miles south of the Thai/Burma border. The two main islands, Koh Surin Nua and Koh Surin Tai, are separated by a narrow strait of water, just one hundred meters across. The islands have almost no flat ground beyond small pockets of mangrove and stunning little beaches, nestled in hidden coves. These two islands cover a land mass of 9sq.m. and 8sq.m. respectively. Again world-class diving is within easy reach around the islands fringing reefs. Guests can go to the beach, swim, snorkel, or look for monkeys and other local wildlife. A traditionally nomadic Seafaring race of people called the Moken Sea Gypsies, make seasonal stilted thatch homes on a couple of the beaches. They can be visited to buy sea shells or to just witness their very traditional and rare way of life.

10 Gulf of Thailand The Gulf of Thailand offers some lovely cruising opportunities, having many unspoiled and beautiful tropical Islands scattered around the southern coast. Small winding roadways through old Coconut Tree Plantations, leading to golden beaches are typical of the type of scene one would encounter whilst exploring Koh Samui, Koh Pangan and Koh Tao Islands. Koh Samui is the best known of the islands in the Gulf. It is now well established as the main tourist island on the south western part of the Gulf of Thailand. Good anchorages can be found on the eastern and northern side of the Island. Many local jetties make coming ashore easy by tender. Samui is home to some prestigious hotel chains, amongst these are the Six Senses, Four Seasons, and Banyan Tree Resorts. Koh Pha Ngan, located a few miles north of Koh Samui, is slightly smaller in size but less developed and more relaxed. There are beautiful beaches all the way around the islands, but the best bays can be found on the eastern coast. Koh Tao (Turtle Island), ten or so miles north from Koh Pha Ngan is the small island of Koh Tao. Due to its remoteness, it is hardly developed and very natural. Clear waters offer good scuba diving and snorkeling amongst its rocky bays and inlets. The island is an important breeding ground for Hawksbill and Green Turtles. Mu Ko Ang Thong National Park is an archipelago in the Gulf of Thailand. It comprises of 42 Islands. Most of the islands consist of limestone mountains meters above sea level. The park covers a total area of 102 sq.km of which about 18sq.km is land mass.

11 Burma (Myanmar) The Archipelago

12 The Mergui Archipelago Seal Superyachts has been providing professional yacht support services in Burmese waters since This is from the very start of when Burma's waters were opened up to private yacht visits. In fact we are proudly justified in saying that we are the pioneers of yachting in Burma. We were directly responsible for negotiations with the government, persuading them to open the Mergui Archipelago to eco-tourism and yachting. Before 97, the islands had remained off limits since the end of the Second World War. Burma has some of the most beautiful sailing grounds in Asia, and arguably the world. The southern islands of Burma's Mergui Archipelago lie only one hundred and twenty nautical miles to the north of Phuket and directly west of the Thai border town of Ranong. There are approximately eight hundred pristine and untouched islands opposite Burma's Tennasserim coast, forming one of the last remaining untouched paradises on the planet. Flora and fauna is prolific on the islands. Although impenetrable jungle prevents sighting of larger mammals, their tracks are plentiful above the high tide mark on the beaches of larger islands. Macaque (pronounced ma-cak) monkeys and large monitor lizards are seen frequently on the beaches and rocky shorelines. The larger islands are believed to support a wide variety of mammals and reptiles within the dense rain forests, although no formal study has been done since the turn of the century. Crocodiles have been seen, and there has even been a suggestion that the rare Asian Rhinoceros might still survive on the larger islands. There are literally hundreds of untouched anchorages in this southern Mergui group.

13 Cruising the Islands Seal Superyachts can arrange all the necessary government permits required for yachts to visit the Mergui Archipelago. The entry point in to the islands is through the southernmost port in Myanmar called Kawthong (formally known as Victoria Point). With all permits pre-arranged, immigration clearances are completed within one hour on arrival. After which your yacht will be free to continue onward to explore the stunning islands of the Mergui Archipelago. Of the over eight hundred Islands which comprise the Mergui Archipelago; there are only a hand-full which are offlimits. This is due to some navy and army bases on the islands. Apart from these, all other islands are open to visit. You will be able to cruise and stop where you wish, without hinderance from and government authority. The area is extremely remote and virtually uninhabited. There are a few fishing villages in the northern part of the archipelago, but generally one can expect to see very little boat traffic. The Moken Sea Gypsies can also be found in the Mergui Archipelago; however they are shy and generally prefer to stay away from any visiting yachts. To visit the Mergui Archipelago is in fact a special privilege. Very few places are left on this earth that are as unspoiled and as natural as this place. The waters are clean and abundant in marine life, whilst the forests are stocked will flora and fauna. We highly recommend a visit to the Mergui Archipelago as part of any yachts visit to Southeast Asia; it will be the highlight of a cruise to this region.
