Snorkeling at 4 Islands in Myanmar

Have you ever thought how do islands in Myanmar?

Myanmar was just opened for business and leisure so that there are lots of resources to explore on these days. I heard from one of friend who works as a discovery scuba diving in Myanmar that she said "Myanmar is lots of pure nature and it's such a beautiful".

When my friend asked me to go to 4 islands of Myanmar, I decided to go with them immediately without any question about how to get there and where to stay and go.

We were starting from Donmeung Airport, Bangkok by low-cost domestic flight to Ranong. We arrived at Ranong and rent the van for a private day-trip in Ranong. We went to a famous ro-tee as Ro-tee Nidsara, Raksa Warin Hot Spring, Wat Waree Banprot, Rong Kluang (Thod Rong Thao) restaurant before check-in the hotel for waiting a 2 days 1 night at Myanmar in the next day.

We woke up early morning for having breakfast and took the hotel van to Grand Andaman Port at 8.30 am for registering. After that we took the local bus of Grand Andaman Travel for applying the immigration in Thailand (Grand Andaman Travel prepared the document for us. no need to fill in any). Then, we went to the port and got the speed boat to Myanmar to apply the visa and picked the local guide up from the Myanmar port. Next, we went ahead to the first island.

First island is "Horse Shoe Island" which is a c shape as a horse shoe. This island is small and it's good for refreshing because it's not to hard to swim and snorkeling. There are beautiful coral with clear sea and white beach. We had lunch here as well. Food was good taste as a Thai style. (Recommend: Nam Prik is hot and spicy)

Next, we went to the highlight that was Cock's Comb Island. We went there on the lucky day because;

1. It's lower sea-level to get inside easily.

2. We saw the urchin and coral reef so closely.

3. We found a baby of Blacktip reef shark.

After that we went to Tafook Island where we stayed over night. This island is a place for sea turtles to lay eggs therefore this island is closed the middle of May to October. We were lucky again because we were the last group before closed.

We won't be lucky all. We also met the trouble in Tafook Island because we stayed here one night in a tent. We knew the electric was limited but we just knew the water was limited too! Most of us didn't wash and toilet after played the sea activities. We tried to ask the staff to help us for finding the other water in the island but they didn't do anything. Okay! we used the drink water to wash our face first and go to bed!

In the morning, we decided to play at the beach without notifying about Tao (Turtle) Beach tour. We knew at 9 o'clock in the morning by staff announcement in front of our tents! Cool! Surprised! We prepared the equipment and walked along the beach to the another side around 5 minutes. It's small beach and look like nothing but it's beautiful one for snorkeling as well.

Then, we were back to our tent for lunch, check-out and waiting for speed boat to let us go to the last island that is Zedetkyi island or Zedetkyi Kyun, well-known as Saint Matthew's Island. We really recommend you to visit this island because it's most beautiful if compared with 4 islands. Especially, you go there on the lowest sea-level day; it's superb awesome!

Not finished! We headed to the Grand Andaman Hotel at Myanmar for washing, changing our cloths, and dinner before we were back to Thailand.

As we told you that we got the trouble in Tafook Island; we were waiting for the staff who are in charge of Manager of Grand Andaman Travel. They sent the van to pick us up to the modern ro-tee in Ranong and a manager came to talk and explain about that problem and he decided to treat us for our order at the ro-tee café, a van for airport transfer, and refund of service in Tafook Island.

Finally, I was satisfied in 2 days activities and their responsibilities of Grand Andaman Travel however we were not bathing 2 days.
