Saturday, 26 January 2008 |
As different Thailands tourist islands such as Phuket, Koh Samui and Koh Chang may be, they all have one thing in common: They are all so big that you will never have this typical "island feeling", as it is typicaly for the Maledives for example. But now you can get such an island feeling, by making an Island Hopping Tour over some of Thailands smaller Isands in the south. This Islands usually have only one or two resorts on them and no nightlife or shopping. A company called "Tiger Line Travel Company" now offers a daily Express Boat Service with one boat going from Koh Lanta over Koh Ngai, Koh Mook, Trang (Hat Yao Pier), Koh Lippe all the way down to Langkawi in Malaysia. Another boat travels the same route back at the same time. At all stations a stopover of about half an hour is scheduled but you may leave the boat and stay on any of this islands for a night or two. Since there ist also a boat service between Ao Nang and Koh Lanta, you can even start the tour in Ao Nang but a stop over in Koh Lanta in necessary due to no direct connection. If you want to go all the way to Langkawi in only one day, you can start in Ao Nang by Mini Bus to Trang and enter the Boat to Langkawi there. From Ao Nang to Langkawi (via Trang) the price is 1850,- Baht (Promotion) per person - One Way! Further details are available on the website of Tiger Line Travel.
