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.

.....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.
