Abschließende Worte:

Ja, was bleibt zu sagen. Es war wirklich eine wunderschöne Zeit, wir hatten so viel Spaß, tolle Eindrücke und es war einfach super!

Thailand ist ein unfassbar schönes, vielseitiges Land, der Dschungel ist faszinierend und die Strände paradiesisch. Vieles war ganz anders, als erwartet, z.B. kam uns Bangkok überhaupt nicht so voll, laut und chaotisch vor, wie man immer hört (vielleicht weil wir Napoli und Süditalien erprobt sind 😉), und überhaupt hatten wir öfters Assoziationen zu Süditalien entdeckt, also fühlten wir uns sofort heimisch. Es war auch in den Städten und Ortschaften immer recht sauber, es lag kaum Müll rum und die Menschen kümmerten sich viel selbst darum, ihre Straßenabschnitte aufzuräumen. Was wir sehr überraschend fanden war, dass kaum jemand halbwegs Englisch konnte, auch in Gastro und Hotellerie sprachen nur wenige gutes Englisch und man verstand das Englisch häufig auch nur schlecht. Aber die Menschen sind wirklich alle (bis auf die Fährentypen in Bangkok ^^) super nett und sehr hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns eigentlich sofort überall wohl gefühlt und vor allem die extrem entspannte Atmosphäre (vielleicht auch dem vielen Kiffen gedankt 😄) hat uns total getaugt. Dieses Mal ging auch wirklich alles glatt, wir wurden nicht beklaut, unsere Mägen haben alles vertragen (auch die Speisen aus den Garküchen und das doch sehr scharfe "not so spicy" Essen - Flo hat sowieso neue Höhen des Schärfe- vertragens erreicht 😅) und bis auf ein paar Erkältungserscheinungen blieben wir heile und gesund...

Aaaalso langer Rede kurzer Sinn, wir sind schwer begeistert von Thailand und hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub - immer wieder gerne! 🤗

Experiment with Different Angles Try shooting from different angles to give your photos a unique perspective. Get down low for a worm's eye view, or climb up high for a bird's eye view. Experiment with different angles, and see what works best for the subject you're photographing. 6. Patience and Perseverance Good photography takes time and patience, so be prepared to spend hours waiting for the perfect shot. Go back to the same location at different times of the day or night to get different lighting or cloud formations. Perseverance pays off in the end. With these tips, you should be able to capture the beauty of Krabi's natural wonders. Remember to enjoy the moment and take in the stunning scenery while finding the perfect photo opportunities.

As for settings, shoot in aperture priority mode, set your aperture to a small f-stop number (between f/22 and f/8), and adjust your ISO and shutter speed accordingly. Getting Creative Don't be afraid to get creative with your sunrise and sunset shots.

Convenience and Accessibility

Krabi Town: A Local Experience

While Krabi Town offers a more authentic Thai experience, it can be less convenient for tourists. Located further inland, it requires transportation to reach the beaches and popular attractions.

Railay Beach is a stunning peninsula accessible only by boat. It offers secluded beaches, dramatic limestone cliffs, and a tranquil atmosphere. However, the lack of land transportation makes it inconvenient for exploring other parts of Krabi. Additionally, accommodation and dining options can be limited, especially during peak season.

Conclusion

Its central location, diverse accommodation options, and proximity to popular attractions ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, Ao Nang is the ideal base for your Krabi adventure.

Let’s follow us!

CONTACT US FOR INSTANT QUOTE

The Andaman Sea laps the western coasts of Thailand and Malaysia up to the Strait of Malacca. The peninsula that is bathed by its waters, a long and narrow strip of land divided between these two nations, is scattered with islands, islets, and cliffs that offer visitors unique and typical landscapes of these lands. Here the sea blends with the beaches and the surrounding nature to create breathtaking views worthy of the best cover photos.

Our itinerary will cover this stretch of sea and coast from north to south. The journey will start from the famous Thailand island of Phuket covering 12 stages on our route that will finally lead us to one of the most famous Malaysian tourist destinations, namely Langkawi.

What is the best period for a yacht tour in the Andaman Sea?

Choosing the right time to visit these places is not an aspect to be underestimated.

Due to the frequent monsoons that hit the Andaman Sea in the summer months, we advise you not to leave in the months between May and September. A holiday here is instead ideal for escaping the cold winter months.

How to get to Phuket?

Getting to Phuket is very simple thanks to an efficient international airport that connects it with the rest of Thailand and with various international destinations.

It is one of the most famous destinations worldwide and is the most touristic island in the whole of Thailand. It is located in the west of the country, in the Andaman archipelago

Once you pass the passport control, you have the feeling of having arrived in a place where time has stopped, surrounded by lush nature you can admire everyday life scenarios.

VIEW ALL THE BOATS BASED IN PHUKET

Once on the island, it’s time to set sail in the Andaman Sea

Your charter yacht awaits you in Ao Chalong, the largest port in Phuket for all types of boats, including yachts and speedboats.

Don’t forget that, whatever your destination, for this kind of travel it is always good to rely on specialized rental companies. Our advice in this regard is Your Boat Holiday, a serious and responsible company to entrust with the complete management of your trip.

Here is our sailing itinerary around the Andaman Sea

Day 1: from Phuket to the Similan Islands

The Similan Islands are located in the Andaman Sea and are about 80 kilometers from Phuket; They are well known and appreciated for the hidden wonders on the seabed, in fact, they are often included in the list of the 10 most beautiful and interesting diving areas in the world and it is also for this reason that the archipelago has become, in recent years, a destination for yachts and boats.

The name Similan derives from the Malay language and means “nine”, like the number of islands that are part of this archipelago.

Before booking a trip to these places, it is good to know that on some islands access is prohibited because sea turtles lay their eggs here.

Day 2: from the Similan islands to the Koh Yao islands

The island of Koh Yao Yai together with Koh Yao Noi, makes up the archipelago of Koh Yao.

This archipelago is located between Phuket and the Krabi Province and covers an area of 137 square kilometers. Visitors and tourists who arrive here are offered a natural spectacle of rare beauty.

In Thai Ko Yao Yai means big long island and, instead, Ko Yao Noi means small long island.

It is a very quiet and private environment highly recommended for those looking for natural beauty and silence that only an environment like this can offer.

Day 3: from Koh Yao islands to Phang Nga Bay

Phang Nga Bay is located between Phuket and Krabi. It is a series of rock formations that populate postcards and images of Thailand on the Internet.

The main feature of this area is its limestone caves that seem to fly over the turquoise blue water, a tropical landscape where you can get a breath of fresh air.

Among the best-known destinations in this area, we find James Bond Island. This famous place has earned its fame by appearing as the set of one of the James Bond movies.

For this reason, it appears in almost all organized excursions for tourists and sometimes can be very crowded

Day 4: from Phang Nga to Krabi province

Among the must-see destinations, the beaches of Krabi province are absolutely in the first places. Among the most spectacular beaches is Ao Nang Beach, one of the largest and most easily accessible but which nevertheless remains uncrowded and very quiet, ideal for those looking for total relaxation.

The beach view is breathtaking: limestone rocks emerge from the waters that create unique plays of light and shadows. The water is shallow and is also great for bringing children.

If you prefer a bit of adventure, there are many possible excursions to choose from such as jungle trekking, elephant trekking, visits to waterfalls and temples.

Day 5: Raleigh Beach

Speaking of beaches, Raleigh Beach is among those that most identify Thailand in the world and certainly deserves a whole day dedicated to it.

Surrounded by cliffs and accessible only from the sea, it offers the possibility of kayaking and above all it is a place known for rock climbing. Here, in fact, the cliffs rise vertically from the sea. Beginners can sign up for an introduction to this sport and, under the guidance of an instructor, climb walls safely and securely.

Day 6: from Krabi to Koh Gai

The neighboring island of Koh Gai, otherwise known as Chicken Island due to the protruding rock formation that resembles a chicken’s head, is an easily accessible destination from Krabi.

At low tide, it is possible to walk along a long white sandbar that connects various islands. It is also an excellent place for diving in waters home to many corals and tropical fish.

Day 7 – Day 8: the Phi Phi islands

Phi Phi island is probably one of Thailand’s most popular destinations. These are two spectacular islands of the archipelago consisting of 6 islands and islets, which only Koh Phi Phi Don and Koh Phi Phi Leh are inhabited.

They are located 40 km south of Krabi and 48 km east of Phuket and have become extremely famous since 1999 when they appeared in the movie The Beach with Leonardo Di Caprio.

Today Koh Phi Phi Don and Koh Phi Phi Leh have become, respectively, a thriving center of Thai tourism and a pristine national marine park, overlooked by the magnificent Maya Beach and Lagoon Bay.

Koh Phi Phi Don, the island on which tourists disembark, is actually made up of two distinct islands connected by a small strip of sand and palm trees. This sand strip creates a splendid double bay, perfectly symmetrical.

Day 9: from Phi Phi islands to Koh Lanta

Today we sail to Koh Lanta where we find an abundance of wildlife in the mangroves and rainforest. The beaches are surrounded by beautiful coral reefs, ideal for further underwater exploration.

If you’re in the mood for an inland adventure instead, head to Khlong Chak Waterfall on a rainforest hike.

Day 10: from Koh Lanta to Koh Rok

Koh Rok, located about 45 minutes from Koh Lanta Yai, is a true tropical paradise and one of the most beautiful and unspoiled Thailand island pairs.

The two small islands called respectively Koh Rok Nai and Koh Rok Nok, are separated by a narrow stretch of sea protected by the establishment of a marine national park. The islands are absolutely virgin: No accommodation or camp is possible here.

From 11: From Koh Rok to Tarutao National Park

Included in the homonymous National Park, Koh Tarutao is the largest island within the protected area. A strip of land just 26 km long, surrounded by crystal clear waters, and characterized by an incredible variety of natural environments

Koh Tarutao is an island of unique beauty and biodiversity. The hinterland has hills of modest height (maximum 700 meters) and evergreen rainforests, while the coast is made up of dense mangroves, limestone caves, lagoons, and enchanting beaches.

Koh Tarutao is accessed from the north-west side where Ao Pante is located and where the ferries land.

If you want to go inside the island, you can do it with a boat trip along a navigable channel that winds its way through impressive mangrove roots and fronds. In a short time, you will find yourself immersed in the songs of tropical birds, which will accompany you to the crocodile cave.

Day 12: Langkawi

Langkawi Island is one of Malaysia’s top tourist destinations. One of those places where the name already brings to mind images of tropical paradises and carefree days spent in the shade of beautiful coconut palms moved by a light sea breeze.

In Pulau Langkawi, the landscape is characterized by long sandy beaches and hills covered with jungle. Inland, however, you will find picturesque villages and green rice fields.

Langkawi is also one of the most advertised destinations in all of Malaysia due to the fact that it is a duty-free island, an undisputed paradise for shoppers!

Despite this, Langkawi remains a typically Malaysian rural island, made up of small villages, rice fields, and many natural beauties.

The port of Kuah is the most important town on the island and the reference point for visiting the many beaches in the area.

IT’S A BIG WORLD OUT THERE

Leaving Borneo was hard for me. Really really hard. This place was like home. I had family there, people I trust, people I love and truly care about. Malaysia was in familiar in a way I can’t really explain, it was a feeling like I belonged there. Heading to Thailand was a big deal, bigger than it should have been. And I remember not wanting to go at first.


Things didn’t get easier when I checked my mails the day before my departure and I saw that my flight was delayed so much that instead of just changing the plane in KL I had to stay overnight. This was something I didn’t expect at all but it was actually doing me a favour. Some of you might remember Andy (wildlife photographer, married to Maureen, stayed with them for a couple of days in the Owl House in Ba’Kelalan). Andy happens to live in KL so I asked him to stay at his place for the night. He and one of his friends (who happens to be a uber driver) picked me up at KL Central, we went for some nice Indian food and chit chatted for what felt like a couple of hours. That evening (mostly spent at that Indian place and later at his apartment aka “the batcave” where you have by the way a stunning view over KL) was full of laughter, great stories and really good conversation. It was like reuniting with an old friend and was exactly what I needed before leaving Malaysia for good. 


Thank you Andy, for giving me those last couple of hours in that beautiful country! And I’ll stick to my word, it is still a see ya and not a goodbye

THAILAND

Phuket gave me a rather unpleasant welcome. As soon as I stepped out of the airport (again massive delay of flight. If anyone of you ever plans a trip to Asia NEVER take Malindo Air!!! they are rude, always late and I think I never had less space in a plane) I immediately wanted to go back. Outside of the airport were like a billion people, Thai and foreigners. It was horrible. Taxi drivers yelling at you and following every tourist that was stupid enough to slow down for a sec. Tourists pushing their way through the crowd. HORRIBLE! It was just too much for me as I was never a big fan of crowds but after the peace and quiet I enjoyed in Malaysia it was downright terrifying.
Anyway I managed to get away from the busiest spot and tried to find the cheapest way to Phukets pier where my ferry to Koh Phi Phi departed and where I was finally meeting the family friend I was supposed to meet a day earlier. Because of my delay and too many people I made a big mistake. Dumbest thing I’ve done so far. I forgot there was an hour difference between Malaysia and Thailand which meant I had one hour more to get to the pier. However, I thought I had one and a half hours for a way that’s supposed to take one hour with the bus (cheapest way to go, 150 Baht) which departure was 40 minutes later. So I figured I had to go there on the fastest way (and most expensive, 700 Baht) and took a taxi. Fuck me, I spent almost five times more than I had to just because I was being stupid. Here’s my advice for you: always let your phone set the time zone automatically and you won’t make this stupid mistake!! I assure you my day got better as soon as I was on that ferry. I met my travel mate, we chatted for a while how everything’s going and arrived on the stunning Phi Phi islands! We didn’t expect so many people to go there but it was still a breathtaking view.

We shared a nice bungalow in the hills with a pretty good with over the island and far away from the loud beach parties at night (you can hear them on the whole island). After exploring our accommodation we went swimming on a smaller beach. The sea was stunning, almost hot and really clear. That day we watched one of most the beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen from the beach with some nice fruit shakes and me trying Pad Thai (Thailand’s national dish) for the first time.

The second day we started exploring the small city and decided to go out at night. Well, I decided to get really drunk. Which I did. We went to a pretty cool rooftop bar, wandered around in the town and ended up at the beach parties where we enjoyed watching the fire show, Limbo and dancing. 

My body thanked me for the mixture of delicious cocktails, beer and (free) shots with a massive hangover the next day. I cured it at a nice beach bar with a mango shake and some really good fried noodles. I ended up staying at that place for more than two hours because that one Thai (former tour guide) working there started telling me about Thailand’s main attractions, where to go an what to see. He’s a funny guy, always smiling and joking around. I went to that bar again in the evening or rather night after I got my first bamboo tattoo! Funny thing: I went there by myself, a little bit nervous and ended up chatting with a really nice american guy for the whole procedure who joined me for a drink after that.

The following day we continued our trip to Koh Lanta. I’d really like to tell you something about that island but I’ve been sick for the whole time we spent there. Yeah, had a really fun time there! But at least now I know that you can just walk into a pharmacy and buy some penicillin without prescription. Oh, I actually have one thing to say: I watched Dark while I lay around in our hotel room (almost dying) and I strongly recommend watching the show!!! That’s it for Koh Lanta, sadly.

Less than a week ago I spent three days in Krabi, exploring the cute city and area. On my very first day I discovered a beautiful buddhist temple! Think I sat there for two hours just enjoying the sensation of finally being alone. It was very peaceful. That and having a full body massage that night made me sleep like a baby and fully recover.

The next morning I went for a day trip to Rai Leh. It’s really close to Krabi, you go from the city to Ao Nang Beach where you take a long-tail boat to the Rai Leh. This place is stunning. Just beautiful!! But way too crowded in my opinion. Which made me go climb up all the way to the viewpoint and later to a small lagoon on top of the hill.  Climbing up to the viewpoint is exhausting but manageable. Going to the lagoon is not for the weaker hearts. There are some points where you only got a rope to hang on or some bamboo-ladders (not trustworthy at all!) to climb down. Good for me, tho. Cause that meant not a lot of people went down there. That lagoon was magical. Like a home for fairies. Probably the most beautiful thing on Rai Leh, definitely worth a visit.

Truly shattered I fell into bed that evening and woke up to a morning full of excitement. You wanna know why? Well, I decided to try something new. That morning I started hitchhiking. Usually not a big deal, but it turned out to be rather difficult because where I started (Ao Luek) NOBODY spoke english. So i had to write down some useful phrases in Thai (took me ten minutes for like four sentences). That actually helped even though it led people to the conclusion I had no money at all (Thais are not familiar with the concept of hitchhiking). 
So I ended up in a truck with Bunsong and his sleeping daughter who took me home to his family to offer me accommodation. He lives near a town called Surat Thani. This area was so originally Thai that they don’t speak a word english except for “hello” and “thank you”. How did we manage to communicate? Google translate for the win. Just try to imagine spending nearly 24 hours with a bunch of people and the only way you can talk to them or explain yourself is via a translation app. They didn’t really understand me, were really concerned and started buying me food and cooking for me even though I insisted they should not. Everybody wanted to take some pictures and talk to me (how??) and was really really kind. 
I would say first time hitchhiking in Thailand went good. Strange and complicated but good!

The day after I got to the airport nearby to meet Raf (a guy from couch surfing who wanted to join me). We met up and started half an hour later and had a lucky strike!
David, a cute old guy from the UK who happens to live in Thailand for seven years, picked us up and gave us a lift. He brought us to a small temple in the middle of nowhere (Amphoe Lang Suan - Na Phaya) right at the sea and even offered us to give us his bike as long as we are around. We asked the monk if we could stay for the night and he agreed immediately. To be honest I never met a stranger person than that monk, he was just downright crazy! Whatever, we stayed at the temple for a night. A night full of bugs and spiders and two hours of sleep. 

David came to see us again and offered that we could stay at his house if we want and now I’m here in Lang Suan, exploring the area (hot springs, luminescent plankton, temples and beaches) with Davids bike and babysitting his dog, Charleen, for two nights because he is on a business trip. Funny where you end up when you’re hitchhiking, I quite like it. We’ll see where I end up next.

This world is getting bigger and bigger. Basically it’s not, it’s still the same no matter how much time flies by. But for me it is. Every decision brings me closer to exploring, every day gives me a thousand opportunities to see and understand the things that are so different than back home. It’s scary sometimes but what would life be without overcoming your fears and go further and further from where you started.
