Sea
canoeing is a thrilling alternative to the likes of scuba diving and yachting.
One can explore the island and its various island caves during one to
seven day voyages into a hidden world as unspoiled as anywhere on earth.
In comparison to yachting, sea canoeing can be said to be observing the
world from down under.
North
of Phuket, Ranong is Thailand's least populated province, with a largely
mountainous landscape. The area is well worth visiting for its simple
charm arising from being off the beaten track. There are however a number
of specific attractions nearby Ranong town such as the hot springs and
health spa with first class accommodation, and two extremely attractive
waterfalls.
Situated
northeast of Phuket, Phang Nga Bay is one of the world's great adventure
trips. A 'longtail' boat takes you through mangrove swamps, caves dripping
with stalactites, and out into the bay where scores of tiny volcanic islands
soar hundreds of feet skywards. Some rise sheer from the water, others
are lumped or jagged, and all are strange and hauntingly beautiful. Adding
to Phang Nga's stunning sights are a fishing village built entirely on
stilts over the sea.
