The Andaman Sea around southern Thailand is famous for beach getaways. Thousands of beaches and hundreds of islands make it hard to choose just the right vacation destination. If you have a problem to choose the right place for your vacation get away, just choose the seaside of the Andaman Sea Thailand, not much can go wrong. If you travel Andaman Sea Thailand from December to March the weather is fine for sure, if you travel the Thai Andaman Sea during other periods of the year the weather is usually also fine, but not for sure.
Anyway, the Andaman Sea Thailand draws thousands of tourists every, they come to Phuket, the so called “Pearl of the Andaman” which is not true anymore since Phuket had a invasion of people form other parts of Thailand in the past 5 years, starting at 2005, which virtually put a concrete and brick layer over the island and brought traffic problems similar to Bangkok.
For a quiet and tranquil beach getaway at Andaman Sea try Khao Lak, the Trang Archipelago or maybe Koh Lipe in the Tarutao Archipelago off Pak Bara in Thailand Satun Province bordering the Andaman Sea in Southern Thailand near the Malaysian border.
The Thailand Andaman Sea boasts some of the best ocean waters, coral reefs and marine life. Almost all Andaman Sea destinations in Thailand offers exceptional snorkeling, dive and scuba diving excursions.

The Thailand Andaman Sea is a very large area (see the Andaman Map) so you can be sure not to see to many tourists around on the island. |

.....Facts about the Salon - Moken the
actual sea gypsies of the Andaman Sea, were
first discovered in the travel
diary of a Frenchman published in 1675. In
Morris
Collis's "Siamese White" they were called
Silita.
In 1891 census report of Kawthoung Township,
they were called Silone.
Some folklore of the Moken -
Salon - Sea Gypsies, in the Andaman Sea
- From
our e-book Islands of the Andaman Sea and
the Sea Nomads -
Long long ago there was a
Salon young man by the name of Ah Nine who was very brave and
skillful at fishing in the Andaman Sea. He had a lover named Bu Ngan
(Miss Flower). They
were highly pleased with their lives
because
they loved each other and their parents
on both sides were friends. Ah Nine
saved money working hard in fishery.
Similar to him, Bu Ngan also saved money working hard on
taking out barnacles and making
grass-mats. Looking forward to the
ceremonies of their forthcoming
engagement and wedding, they both were
excited with happiness.
When the young man would have
enough money, he used to send a woman as
a matchmaker, carrying his
earrings, a sarong and some other things, to
the parent of his girl, for engagement. If they disagreed they would return back the
items. If they give their consent, they
wound have alcoholic drinks together in the
honor of the successful engagement. |
Then, the young man could visit
the girl's house during nighttime. The young
man have to make a Kaban boat
where the whole family could live, it is the mark of his ability.
Then, he would have to look for a dog and train to be obedient to
him. After completion of these formalities, wedding ceremony could
be held. At which, they would pray Katoi Nat spirit; requesting for
protection from misfortunes.
Wedding ceremony was a feast held in
the company of bride and groom, together with the parents of
both sides and invited guests. After the
wedding ceremony, the groom lived with his
bride in her house for six months or one
year; taking responsibilities of looking
after her family, as it had been already
agreed to at the time of engagement. After
that period, the couple could live in a
separate house, particularly on a house boat
in the Andaman Sea
Trying hard to take the ambergris
of the Andaman Sea, time passed unnoticed.
He had forgotten to attribute to the Rain-god. By the time, rain
became heavy; wind blew hard; sea became tempestuous; and lightning
flashed. Ah Nine was streaked by a thunderclap while he was lying on
his back in the hull of his boat, and passed away.
Thus, Ah Nine and Bu Ngan worked hard for money. One day the sea
began tempestuous. While rowing his boat, Ah Nine saw a cluster of
ambergris floating in the Andaman Sea. If he would have got it; would have
peace of mind for their wedding. Ambergris was as valuable as edible
bird-nest. Bu Ngan was happy in his imagination. When the dark
clouds were cleared off in the sky, he wound be
capable to take the ambergris out of waters of the Andaman
Sea. Ah Nine prayed and requested the
Rain-god to wipe off the dark
|
|
clouds. When the ambergris was in received, the
Rain-god would be given a devotional offering. His prayer was
answered.
In the next
morning, he was searched for all over the sea. They found him
lying dead in the floating boat. Beside him in the hull was a
cluster of ambergris. Bu Ngan also died of broken heart.
Salon believed that an island called
island of Poverty still
existed in the Myeik archipelago of the Andaman Sea, on which no tree was grown and
nobody used to reach there - It was a transformation of Bu Ngan's body. Thus, Salon dare not sleep on the back while it
was raining; Salon pay tribute to Rain-god and prayed for the
pathetic couple whenever it was raining. This story is still
popular today. |
