There are so many islands and places to visit, and the small distances between them means there is always a beautiful view and a pristine white-sand beach or coral reef to explore.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Among the many islands to visit is the horseshoe-shaped Myint\u00a0Khar (Horse Shoe Island), which has a lagoon in the middle, making an idyllic anchorage for Sanook. Being shallow, with crystal-clear water and a white-sand bottom, the whole lagoon is like a giant fish tank.<\/p>\n

Za Det Gyi Island has rugged underwater terrain, while large tawny nurse sharks can be seen along with other abundant marine life. The coast of Hlaing Gu Island (Cavern Island) has caverns large enough for Sanook\u2019s RIB to get through to explore this exciting environment. The adventurous can hike to the top of the islands, which are a nature lover\u2019s utopia and offer the chance to spot gibbons, pythons, civet cats, monitor lizards, the mouse deer and even elephants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Avid birdwatchers should look up for hornbills, white kites\u00a0and white-bellied sea eagles circling above islands. Kingfishers, Frigatebirds, Pacific reef egrets, green imperial pigeons and emerald doves are also commonly sighted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A national park, Kyunn Tann Shey (Lampi Island) is protected and has a vast stretch of mangroves, tidal creeks and rivers, which are perfect to explore by kayak or RIB\u2026 it is truly an explorer\u2019s paradise. The only human inhabitants are the indigenous sea gypsies,\u00a0known locally as Salon or internationally as Moken. These semi- nomadic people live a traditional life aboard their boats and may shyly approach Sanook, wishing to trade the freshest of seafood, such as seabass, skate, lobster and tuna.<\/p>\n

Sanook\u2019s range of toys mean guests can snorkel in pristine seas, paddle around on the two kayaks, ride the three-person jet-ski, or use the exploration RIB to explore an inland waterway or a mangrove system full of wildlife, and access beaches. There are also water- skis, a wakeboard, kneeboard and inflatable tubes, and the simple beach classics like frisbee and badminton. Diving can be arranged in advance.<\/p>\n

While Sanook steers guests through the Mergui Archipelago, guests enjoy luxurious living on board and first-class service. Sanook herself is magnificent indoors and out, another sensational motor yacht by the world-famous Princess yard in Plymouth on England\u2019s southwest coast. Her elegant, bright interior has a large open-plan saloon, formal dining area and a galley \u2013 often used as\u00a0the \u2018bar\u2019 \u2013 that can be fully enclosed or opened via an electronically retractable partition. The Australian Captain has been on board for four years and has extensive regional knowledge, having cruised on her own yacht in the area.<\/p>\n

\n

The first mate\/engineer has lived in Thailand for 20 years, the ever-smiling stewardess offers attentive service and the experienced professional chef can prepare gourmet Thai food bursting with flavours as well as international cuisine.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The large flybridge \u2013 accessible from the aft deck and also the saloon \u2013 is also well covered, by a full-length bimini. There\u2019s seating for more than 10 up here, with a large sunpad that\u2019s ideal for relaxing, reading, listening to music or just enjoying the views. Sanook can sleep between eight to 12 guests in comfort on the lower deck. The full-beam master suite midships features great views through triple vertical hull windows, a 32-inch HD TV and DVD player, a walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom with power\/massage shower, an oval double-ended bath, toilet and bidet.

Each twin cabin can be converted into a double bed or four Pullman bunks for children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A 5,900-litre fuel tank gives long-range cruising capabilities, while the bow and stern thrusters and a shallow draft mean Sanook is able to tuck into secluded coves and bays.<\/p>\n

\n

She\u2019s an ideal yacht for a week-long cruise with family and friends, and offers a superb way to explore the Mergui.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
