TourChoice, a leader in active adventure tours, private guided tours and more relaxed cultural experiences in Thailand and throughout the Southeast Asia region, has recently added 5 yachts to its roster of world class cruising and yachting holidays in Myanmar and Southern Thailand. The spectacular tropical scenery viewed from their luxury sailing yachts allows travelers the chance to relax in comfort, enjoy the services of a professional crew so they can immerse themselves in the true tropical paradise known as the Mergui Archipelago, which is at the center of the sailing area. North of Phuket’s famous Similian Islands, the immense Mergui archipelago offers 800 undeveloped uninhabited tropical islands. The only people living there are the indigenous Moken Sea Gypsies, one of Myanmar’s many ethnic minority groups. Unesco has considered the region for World Heritage status.

Robert Moore TourChoice’s Chief hirer and firer, says: “the yachts are available for private charter with a 3 day minimum and depending on the yacht, can accommodate from 4 people up to 12 guests for a private group holiday in Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago, one of the worlds last remaining undeveloped natural beautiful tropical sanctuaries”.

Moore says “in addition to private yacht charters, there is also a 6 day/5 night regularly scheduled cruise itinerary departing weekly on Saturdays from Kawthaung, Myanmar which offers guests the chance to book a private cabin on board on a join in basis rather than charter the entire yacht.

” No matter whether guests book a private charter or the 6-day weekly cruise, full crews are provided, all meals, kayaks, snorkeling gear, fishing equipment and dinghies for getting from yacht to beach.

The luxury yachts hail from different backgrounds. Some from famous shipyards, others are designed after the sleek cutters of past centuries retrofitted to current modern standards with air conditioning, private bathroom, luxury cabins and modern electronics. The 85? Meta IV yacht, the 95? Adventure, the 100? Raja Laut, the 103? SY Sunshine and the 72? SY Scame are berthed in Kawthaung Myanmar, or in the South of Phuket where they await guests for pick up. Fully trained, experienced and professional crews look after everything for guests. Delicious meals are a compliment to the amazing sailing and beach hopping. Guests will swim in azure warm clear waters and snorkel above tropical reefs with colorful fish. Visit deserted white sandy beaches lined with Palm trees and tropical jungles virtually untouched by development. Here guests will find just their own footprints in the sand. Guests can explore various islands and bear witness as to how local Moken people make a living fishing on the Andaman Sea in their dugout canoes. The sailing is smooth and steady often with 20 knot winds and scenic routes are carefully selected for optimum enjoyment. These one of a kind sailing cruises in Myanmar and the south of Thailand off Phuket are hosted by experienced professional crews with expert knowledge sailing in local waters and of the local life and local terrain so that guests will join the tour with the reassurance that they are in expert hands”.

The evenings are spent dining, relaxing in the lounges on the top deck, star gazing and enjoying the warm nights and fresh air.

According to Moore “no matter which boat guests sail on, they are assured of a once in a lifetime special holiday experience. The Mergui Archipelago is an untouched haven with pristine beaches. The cruises are ideal for groups or couples looking to experience one of the last places on earth untouched by human development. The waters of Andaman Sea and the Mergui Archipelago offer perfect sailing conditions starting in October through to the end of April. With so many islands, there are ample secluded coves offering safe overnight moorage on anchor.

Guests can fly from Bangkok to Ranong, Thailand and then cross the river into Myanmar where they board their boat of choice. For a longer 10 day itinerary, guests can join the charter in the south of Phuket. All details are provided on www.TourChoice.com
