Suwan Macha Boat
The boat is a treasure in itself - an authentic junk with Siamese rigging. It blends western comfort with Oriental charm and provides spacious accommodation for up to 10 people and includes the following:
· Modern safety equipment and lifejackets
· Three double and two twin cabins, each with wall mounted fans and generous storage space.
· Snorkelling gear and sunbathing / lounging mattresses.
· CD player stereo, games and reading materials.
· Motorized raft.
· Three fully equipped 'heads', complete with western style toilets, basins and showers.
· A fully-stocked bar
Krabi
Krabi has a nice seaside atmosphere with cheap accommodation, tasty Thai/Moslem food and friendly people. Its striking rock formation islands and beautiful beaches made the area a pirate haven in bygone days. Now mainly a stopover for tourists going to outlying islands, the town itself is nice for short visits.
Fine Beaches
Local beaches include Hat Noppharat Thara, Ao Nang and Ao Phai Phlong. All are lovely, but one of the finest is Hat Tham Phra Nang, with a cave where fishermen honor the spirit of an Indian princess said to have perished here over two thousand years ago.
Climb & Dive
For experienced rock-climbers, hundreds of established routes offer exciting opportunities. Numerous dive operators work in and around Krabi, taking divers to coral reefs and boat wrecks near adjacent islands. Sailing and paddling are also popular, and yachts and kayaks can be hired locally.
Phi Phi Islands
Forty kilometers off the mainland of Thailand lay the Phi Phi Islands, one of the world's most beautiful and well-known tourist destinations. Consisting of two small islands, blanketed in lush forests with steep limestone cliffs from the Phang Nga Province chain, the name comes from the Malay language, meaning "mangrove wood".
Bays of Plenty
Phi Phi Don is the larger of the two islands: one half catering to sun-worshippers, the other to the diving brigade. A narrow isthmus of half-moon bays - Tonsai Bay and Lodalam Bay, surrounded by mountains to the east and jungles to the west - connect the halves. Because a substantial portion of the interior is inaccessible, development is concentrated around the bays.
Trapped Waters
Two kilometers to the south is the uninhabited Phi Phi Ley, more than six square kilometers encircled by phosphoric rock formations and cliffs, preventing beach access. The sheer cliffs and limestone rocks trap surrounding waters, shielding the bays and giving them the appearance of inland lakes.
Dream Destination
Crystalline seas, towering cliffs, foliated pillars of limestone, attractive coral and a vivid underwater life, all combine to make the Phi Phi Islands a dream destination in the Andaman. Visitors not on a tight schedule should be sure not to bypass this tropical paradise.
