About 300 kilometers south of Bangkok lies the Trat Province and the beautiful Koh Mai Si Island area.Koh Mai Si is one part of several islands called the Kurt Islands. On the western part of the island is terrific homestay tourist area. We had some friends that had visited and told us it’s must visit.
Of course you have the usual beautiful Thai beaches with sorts of water activities. If you are beachwalker or coral reef deep sea diving enthusiast…you will be quite happy.
The water is crystal clear aqua blue in color. When you go out on a boat or canoe, you will be amazed at how beautiful undisturbed nature can be.
Don’t look for much signs of western life influences do disturb your private holiday away from noise and bust citiy life.
The homestay accommodations were more than acceptable as we would make dialy plans to take in as much nature as possible.
The locals were so friendly. The boat captain and various island workers always had a big smile and courteous way to help all.
I have som many wonderful photos of the beaches and turquoise waters.
Obviously, the fresh water fishing and the ability to catch your dinner is an amazing experience. Needless to say,the fish was delicious.
If you are a camera enthusiast, you will the most beautiful sunsets to capture and landscape treasures.
We never had a boring day. The weather was terrific most of the time.
The locals have their own way of life and it’s nice to see so many people who take care of this beautiful paradise.
You have to remind yourself that this is Mother Nature. You can see wild animals as you take in more of the island.
The meals were delicious and simple. Living off the land and sea…and of course some great cooks.
The photograph composition was easy to assemble for the nature shots.
We will miss our island stay and who knows at another time we can be back.
Koh Mai Si will give all Bangkok travelers another view of Thailand. There are so many beautiful islands in southern Thailand, I hope you have a chance to visit.
