Andaman Islands, two and a half days sailing from Phuket, the “Emerald Islands” as they are also called, are a must for the more adventurous. These islands are rich in history from colonial days and still have Stone Age tribes living in some parts. Whales and porpoises are plentiful and the fishing is excellent. Even swimming elephants can be encountered!
To the South lies Malaysia with lovely Langkawi, a duty free island, ideal for a few days cruising and a perfect place to start a trip to the southern Thai islands of Butang and Tarutao.
