Not only Angthong marine park safaris are possible within the southern Gulf of Thailand. A lot of Sailing Yachts taking the Opportunity the just hop from Island to Island, exploring the beautiful bays and combine even some scuba diving once they reached Koh Tao, the diving paradise of the Gulf. The Islands are not to far from each other apart which results in a stress free day sail. Including the Angthong marine park and the Chumporn marine park into your Island Hopping you could be easily busy for a fortnight.

We’re writing November 7th on planet earth. In the North Indian Ocean, the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand the weather pattern is about to change. It’s the transition time from the SW-Monsoon to the NE-Monsoon season.
Circumnavigating sailing yachts are starting now to migrate from Singapore towards western Malaysia, especially the islands of Penang and Langkawi, and towards Phuket, in Thailand. The ones who are moving in a fast pace, like doing their way around the planet in a matter of only two or three years, will be the first ones coming up.
Why that?

Although we have our trusty dive computers to guide us in this day and age it is still essential that you plan your dive and dive your plan.
This is particularly important when you are on a scuba diving holiday in unknown waters where there could be strong currents or other hazards you may be unaware off but the dive leader has factored into the dive plan for you.
