SUNSETS IN ANDAMAN SEA


The landscapes of Andaman Sea have been all over the news this month. The photographs taken 10 years back after the tsunami are so different to below ones that it’s still quite impossible to understand what happened in the area back then. When I was sitting on the beach and admiring these below sunsets next to the huge ocean, it was easy to understand how little you are in the universe. But the Mother Nature is full of surprises – how something which looks this beautiful can be suddenly something so destroying?

KOH ROK AND MU KOH LANTA NATIONAL PARK


After visiting Koh Muk it was time to continue to still less crowded areas of Andaman Sea – to island of Koh Rok in Mu Koh Lanta National Park. Koh Rok is located in the deep sea area of Andaman Sea, 2 hours ride by long tail boat from Koh Muk, but it’s definitely worth the travel! It’s a small island and there aren’t any permanent habitants living in the island – only few rangers are spending their nights here in addition to few tourists camping here and few more visiting here for a daytrip.

Camping two nights in this beautiful island was the highlight of my trip to Thailand. Imagine spending your evening in the beach with your friends and enjoying the full moon and guitar played by rangers. Imagine going snorkeling to beautiful coral reefs directly from the beach which is located less than 10 meters from your tent. Imagine fishing with locals and eating the catch of the day (theirs not mine) as your dinner. Imagine hiking around the island and enjoying the beautiful views in top of the hill. And imagine seeing one of the most beautiful sunsets you have ever seen in your life..
