Read the full Thailand Charter Guide and Myanmar (Burma) Charter Guide.

A 14-day private charter itinerary visiting the West Coast of Thailand & Myanmar Merqui archipelago.

Thailand

Phuket & Phang Nga Bay is one of the Asia's great scenic wonders. It covers an area of 400 sq km (154 sq miles) and consists of verdant limestone islands, some of which reach 300m (984ft) high.

The area is famous for its caves and aquatic grottoes. Apart from the occasional village, few of the islands are densely populated. The most famous of the islands in the bay are Ko Ping Kan (more commonly known as James Bond Island) and Koh Pannyi. The former featured in the James Bond movie 'The Man with the Golden Gun', whilst the latter, which literally means 'Sea Gypsy Island', is a village built out over the water on stilts, guarded by a giant rock monolith.

With Super Yacht Moecca you will discover the very best aspects of this area, with the ultimate in personalized service provided by an organization dedicated to the pursuit of perfection.

In fact, the movie starring Leonardo DiCapprio "The Beach" was filmed here. The setting won't disappoint, as the geology has this jagged, Jurassic feel, where you will see spectacular limestone cliffs and inlets with soaring eagles and sea birds and even wild monkeys that come down to the beach for a visit.

The national park area with its' two curved, private beaches are simply wonderful, and well worth a visit, the Had Hin Ngam (a beautiful stone beach) and Tanod (Palm Beach). These two beaches stand on protected land, with no nearby resorts.

The water is so clear, that whilst snorkeling it is often possible to see many of the fish you perhaps are intending to catch. The highlight of diving here is a series of caves, or caverns on the largest of the islands, Koh Ha Yai. The emerald light filtering through the cave entrance at sunrise is quite magical. Try your fishing luck. In the afternoon we steam for Ko Muk (Emerald Cave) and drop anchor for the night.

Descendants of real sea gypsies further to the north who abandoned civilization to live on yachts, today the village has around 1,400 inhabitants. This excursion is followed by a ride into the estuaries to see the famous cliffs where the locals climb to extract the nests for bird's nest soup.

Here we stay at anchor overnight.
