Andaman Sea

Andaman Sea
         

          The south of Thailand extends vertically for thousands of kilometers in length forming the northern part of the peninsula of Malacca. Washed by the Andaman Sea to the west and the Gulf of Thailand (South China Sea) on the eastern side, this part of the country is detached from the rest of Thailand not only geographically but also historically, socially and culturally. Over the past centuries in fact, most of the 14 provinces that are now suffered a major influence coming from the south and in particular the United Srivijaia that was centered on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The city of Sri Thammarat Nakhorn was certainly at that time the capital of the area under that domain, and today retains some historical and architectural treasures of great importance. Even today, these ethnic distinctions and customs of different origin and history are reflected in the religious reality of the South, largely focused on an important Muslim minority can not be recorded in the Central and Northern provinces in the minority that becomes ever more like southern Satun, Pattani , Yala and Narathiwat, a clear and overwhelming majority. Here in the South are also different facial features of the population, which denote a darker skin and more pronounced features of the nose is different culinary traditions, festivals, celebrations and traditions of a people in its own right but still proud of his membership in the Kingdom of Thailand. Eye of the foreign visitor, the South of Thailand is synonymous with dream beaches and paradise islands. Some of its sights are the years become one of the most important resorts in the world and have undergone a remarkable expansion and development of facilities. The Andaman Sea is in this sense the protagonist but also some locations on the Gulf of Thailand have emerged into the limelight in recent times. And 'unnecessary and served to remember the island of Phuket where the main focal location for tourism from the west, but once again our desire is to go further and wonders in an effort that leads to the search for new and unexplored islands and other places that are not only noteworthy but also able to demonstrate that the Andaman coast of Thailand is today far from being well known and sufficiently explored.  Focus in this sense, our programs and our presentations on the lesser-known spots in the already well-known province of Krabi and even more especially on the southern provinces of Trang and Satun where, within which we are going to discover unimaginable places.

Dates for the trip  

The southwest coast of Thailand was affected by the climatic conditions of the Indian Ocean and especially the alternation of the monsoon seasons. Given the low latitude, the southern part of Thailand loses the characteristic of tropical and sub-tropical climate of the rest of the country to take on the characteristics of a true equatorial climate. It is therefore to miss the "cold season" that characterizes the central and northern areas from November to February. The dry period of the year, coinciding with the winter monsoon, and that goes down from China Junnan bringing the good weather between mid-December and the end of April. For the remainder of the year rather resents the influence of the summer monsoon, which is the wet monsoon that originates from the southern part of the Indian sub-continent expiring towards the Bay of Bengal. It 'important to note however that heavier rainfall is concentrated in the months between late August and early December. What May / August is rather an intermediate period, characterized by variable weather and with periodic setbacks. The temperatures are high or very high throughout the year, with particularly high rates of moisture from the middle or end of February until the end of the rainy season. March and April, and in general the months immediately anticipate the arrival of the rains, are by far the warmest, with average temperatures that can reach and exceed 45 degrees. It 'also important to stress such as Phuket, the outermost and exposed to the Indian Ocean between the various locations of this area is perhaps the point where the heavy monsoon rains in September / November are more affected by their negative effect, while the provinces of Krabi and Trang are sheltered from the same island of Phuket.

KO CHANG ARCHIPELAGO

KO  CHANG  ARCHIPELAGO

            A trip to the National Park of Ko Chang island begins the same name, which is the largest and closest to the mainland. This island is the second extension of the country, second only to the island of Phuket and a very rough survey the animal throughout its length. A key feature of this island is an almost total lack of human and this because of the difficult environmental conditions. At Ko Chang are very few roads and only from recent times, despite its proximity to the coast, the island was connected with a regular ferry service and that now allows you to be able to get on board their vehicles. From the point of view of tourism, the island has always been under-exploited because of its remoteness from Bangkok and the main settlement areas of the country, so that only very few centers located on its beaches more easily reachable, however, have experienced a reduced and In some ways only beginning to develop the necessary infrastructure for tourism. The scarcity of a good standard of accommodation has also meant that the island remained almost unknown to mass tourism internationally. Thanks to these fundamental factors, Ko Chang is still shows the visitor as an almost completely unexplored and highly wild. Its mountains are completely covered by a dense and impenetrable tropical vegetation that stops only at beaches with fine white sand. Some of these, such as Haat Sai Khao (in Thai means "white sand"), we considered the most beautiful beach and paradise island, beach activities lend themselves fabulously thanks to the sea level falls in a very gradual and the sandy bottom. Haat Sai Khao is nothing but a long and endless white strip shows popping up among the coconut trees from the flood. The few buildings that are here are strictly environmentally friendly and does not rise to above two floors, thus remaining far below the palm trees and hidden from the eye of the same. Almost all of them built of wood. Very few brick. From such a description of this place, no one could ever imagine Haat Sai Khao is the most developed and civilized the whole island! We have chosen to enjoy the exotic beauty and tranquility of this beach on the edge of the imaginable from fresh and quiet porches at the entrance of the bungalow Banpu Resort (see catalog services), a tiny structure is idyllically situated in front of the beach . A small pool creates the unique solution of continuity between the bungalows and the beach, and nothing but the only swimming pool ever that you are on the whole island! But the beaches are not the only wonder of Ko Chang. Who will want to leave for the exploration of the interior wilderness, Ko Chang will give it compelling and attractive opportunities. Good shoes and a certain flexibility necessary to undertake a short but intense trek that leads to contact with a very interesting series of waterfalls. The nearest to Haat Sai Khao waterfall is Khlong Phlu while on the opposite side of the island are the Yom Than But, spread over several consecutive jumps the highest of which can be reached through a very difficult and suitable for climbers. For those who prefer to avoid the difficult and challenging courses recommend renting a bike and set off to explore around the island, along all its perimeter. The mountainous relief creates sometimes long and difficult climb to the top of which you can see fantastic panoramic sea views. Along the way, you will notice different from the one beaten roads that branch off the main island road, still under construction. Have faith and with a bit of imagination and taste just get the direction of the discovery until maturity. If you're lucky you can discover hidden bays and idyllically set in green, or large gullies that flow into the sea, rich in mangroves, or you will be in some small local village where you will be greeted warmly. Ideally you will have discovered a small restaurant by the sea in which to return in the evening for dinner!
