THAILAND ABOARD THE STAR CLIPPER
Discover Thailand with wonderful routes to enjoy the colors and beauty of the Kingdom of Siam.
The program features 7-night cruises from Phuket or Singapore that will explore the numerous islands scattered off the coast of Phuket, accessible only by sea, and admire some of the most beautiful paradise beaches in the world.
FROM PHUKET TO SINGAPORE:
Phuket – Koh Similan – Phang Nga Bay, Koh Hong – Koh Adang, Thailand – Penang and Malacca, Malaysia – Singapore.
Namely:
• The Koh Hong archipelago is a group of small islands stretching from Krabi to the northern end of Phang Nga Bay. Unlike the waters north of Phang Nga Bay, these are clear enough for snorkeling.
• Koh Adang is located 43 km west of Tarutao and 80 km from Pak Bara. This island, approximately 30 km², is covered in forests and streams. Fed with freshwater year-round, sea turtles arrive between September and December to lay their eggs.
SOUTH THAILAND – FROM PHUKET TO PHUKET
Phuket – Koh Butang – Penang – Koh Adang – Koh Rok Nok – Phang Nga, Koh Hong – Similan Islands – Phuket.
Namely:
• With their beautiful seabed, the Similan Islands are a paradise for diving enthusiasts. The water is so clear that you can see up to 30 meters deep.
• Protected from the onslaught of the Andaman Sea by Phuket Island, the seascape of Phang Nga is both strange and beautiful. The mangrove-fringed bay (400 km²) between Phuket and Krabi is dotted with limestone formations that rise some 300 meters above sea level and are home to lush vegetation.
NORTHERN THAILAND – PHUKET TO PHUKET
Phuket – Koh Surin – Similan Islands – Koh Rok Nok – Langkawi, Malaysia – Koh Kradan – Phang Nga, Koh Hong – Phuket.
Namely:
• The Langkawi archipelago, located near the state of Kedah, looks like tiny grains of sand in an emerald-green ocean. The largest of these is Pulau Langkawi, which offers unparalleled natural attractions in the entire region. Anyone dreaming of a tropical island holiday, far from the crowds, will find the haven of peace they seek. The archipelago's exceptional natural landscapes make it a paradise.
• Koh Surin, a national park made up of five small islands, lies about 60 km off the coast within Thai waters on the border with Myanmar. Surrounded by spectacular reefs along the water's edge, these islands are among the best diving sites on the Andaman coast.
SINGAPORE TO PHUKET
Singapore – Malacca and Langkawi, Malaysia – Koh Adang – Phang Nga Bay, Koh Hong – Similan Islands – Koh Surin – Phuket, Thailand.
Things to see and do in Singapore:
– Little India, where the scent of spices leads to treasures: silverware, copperware, traditional jewelry, jasmine garlands, and silk saris.
– The Thian Hock Temple, the oldest Taoist temple in Singapore, dedicated to Mazu, the sea deity and protector of sailors. There's a blend of British and Chinese influences, evident in the glazed tiles, the pagoda (1849), and the pair of sentinel dragons.
– Chinatown with its quaint shops and narrow streets lined with centuries-old houses.
– Mount Faber, the harbor, and the neighboring islands, rising 107 meters above sea level.
– Malacca, the capital of the state of the same name, is perhaps the oldest city in Malaysia and certainly one of the most charming, with visible traces of the Portuguese and Dutch presence.
