Phaeng Waterfall National Park, Koh Phangan: this visit has 2 main attractions, the mountain viewpoint and the Phaeng waterfall. To reach Phaeng Waterfall you have to walk about 250m into the jungles sunny and friendly trail. If you continue 200m further up you reach a fantastic mountain viewpoint. Local guides of the park cost about 500 baht for the day but is definitely worth having especially being new to the jungle.
Ko phi phi lee is another island in the Andaman sea that belongs to Thailand. The island consists of a ring of steep limestone hills surrounding 2 shallow bays, Maya Bay and Loh Samah. Maya bay is sheltered by 100 meter high cliffs on 3 sides. The main beach sounds like my paradise place with silky soft white sand, underwater colourful coral and exotic fish in exceptionally clear water.
Note: there is no food available here, there is a very small snack shack that sells a few drinks and candies, so bring your own food.
Getting into to Maya Bay the typical thing to do is take a ferry tour boat from Phi Phi Don that generally costs 500-1000 baht (16-32 dollars)
Another stop I dream of making is to the Surin Islands. 5 islands of the Andaman Sea located a short distance away from Thai mainland. The Mu Ko Surin National Park covers the area of the islands and their surrounding waters. The park is known for the most famous dive sites in the world. I would love to do some snorkelling in this area.
