Mergui Archipelago


The Mergui or Myeik islands are a group of hundreds or thousands of smaller and bigger green jewels in the Andaman Sea. Considered one of Southeast Asia’s most beautiful destinations, the Myeik Archipelago features more than 800 uninhabited and unspoilt islands. Located at the southernmost part of Myanmar. During 12 days traveling we only met one single other tourist boat. Some beaches do have shadflies, but their sheer beauty is simply overwhelming. With the crystal clear water, immaculate white sands and the rainforests right behind them make the perfect cliché picture for holiday dreams. When snorkeling, one often found marvelous sites, sometimes with lots of fish, sometimes with complete coral reefs in few meters depth. Doing dives, places did differ from the deserts of dynamite fishing to a breathtaking paradise around some rocks.
