    Overall, a great day! Boat Crew were brilliant. As a person that needs and wants details, the WhatsApp messages from Visit Thailand Was exceptional and perfect in my view! Unfortunately the journey to and from Khao Lak is just too far to make the day manageable in terms of lethargy. I’m on the minibus now and due to be 2.5 hours back to my hotel, having got up at 5:15 am to be ready for 6am means a c15 hour day! I think one of the Snorkelling stops should be removed to shorten the day!

Schade für 95€/pp

First, we'll stop by the local school to see how Thai children go about their morning routine.
