Kawthung
(Victoria Point ) Port for departure and arrival
of the Burma trips. A bustling little harbour with a rather
special atmosphere. Visit the market. Try the Burmese
beer and cigars .
A beautiful pagoda temple and monastery on the hill can
be visited just outside town.
Guests can fly into Ranong via Bangkok and will be transferred
from the airport to the towns' harbour from where the
crossing to Kawthung is made by local ferry. The town
of Kawthung certainly has atmosphere. It seems a sort
of mixture of a Colonial- and a Wild West place. You will
have time for sightseeing and shopping. You should see
the market and try the Burmese beer and snacks.
The yacht will anchor for the night at a quiet island
some distance from Kawthung. However charming Kawthung
might be, quiet it is not. After your trip you will be
ferried back to Ranong where a van will be waiting to
bring you back to Ranong Airport or to Phuket.
