Nov 24 - Dec 17 1994. This well protected bay, located between Ko Phuket and the mainland, is characterized by numerous limestone islands, most of which are uninhabited, and several have giant open rooms in the center that can only be accessed by passing through a small long dark tunnel. From a distance, the islands look like giant mushrooms. Bizarre looking stalactite formations dangle over the water from the bottoms of the mushroom-like cap. Farther south, the islands are more typical of paradise, complete with palm trees, and sandy beaches.
Coral reefs abound and the snorkeling is spectacular.
You can hop out of your kayak, dive down to tie it off to the reef and swim around. Your main costs are the airfare to get there. Everything else in Thailand is relatively inexpensive. We took folding double sea kayaks, one Klepper and one Feathercraft, as baggage on the plane with no problem. I don't know if rental boats are available in Thailand.
