Dear Cathy

Sorry to answer you so late, but the restart of the day-to-day life is difficult after a beautiful hollyday. Unfortunately we did not find the time to meet in Yangon. The trip with the Ayer Princess was extremely nice and we have the following comments:

- the food on board was really good and the cook makes really miracles in such a small place. But I think that making a fire on a beach with simply a grilled fish with chilli would be fantastic from time to time

- also sleep on an island would be great. For example reduce the lenght of a tour and stay 2-3 days on a beautiful island (as 115) - this could be a kind of a Robison Crusoe approach.

- we encountered a small problem with the shrimps that obviously did not support well the freeze-thaw repeats in the freezer on board. We were covered by buttons but nothing serious. The boat is going close to many shrimpers (boats that fish shrimps) and it could be easier to stop and buy fresh fish or shrimps directly. This could be also a good deal for the fishermans...

These island are so marvelous that I am affraid that there will be destroyed by the mass tourism and the fishing boats from Japan or Thailand. An ecological approach and such a label for your agency should be fantastic. Having cans of Coke and Sprite on board are not necesarily the signs of the best of the the such called civilization. Maybe local products might be better (local beer, tea).

As agreed I enclose 4 pictures.  I can continue to send pictures and avoid then to saturate the server and your mailbox.

Again we really enjoyed our trip and hope to revisit these islands one day. Our friends were very happy to see our pictures from Mergui islands and (who knows) will take one day the Ayer Princess.

What a wonderful journey we have had three beaches from Califonia in pursuit of magnificent beaches, islands and underwater splender__ We have found it! IT's been a grand adventure __ Crew has nurtured us with great food, Myanmar hospitality and attentive to our needs. Island tripping in ther Mergui Archepilago has been filled with fun discoveries> The Moken village with Honey Patta DVD's was amusing - the merement in the middle of a jungle island selling fried banana- always something new to see and do.
Thank you for a great trip - we will press the land to our adventure seeking friends about the island of Mergui and the grand snorkeling - kayaking to be found there!

This boattrip was an special experience for us. We thank the helpful, friendly staff. The food is delicious, special thanks to the cook, who prepares great dishes in his small kitchen.The service is so excellent, that even my mother would be jealous.
The islands are beautiful-white beaches, jungle, no tourists and peaceful evenings under the stars of the Andaman Sea.
We recommend this trip very much to everybody.
Thank You!

Crew : Very nice!
weather :perfect!
Food :delicious!

Some of the islands, beaches, colorful fishes and coral made us think discovering a piece of paradise.
My favorite is Lampi island; Kayaking on the river, discovering elephant traces on the beach and swimming in turquises, clear water.
We watched sea-eagles playing with a rope(training school for catching fishes) we assumed. And advised a wonderful star-covered sky while sleeping on deck of night.
And with George from Burma, now living in Lavada, we had a very nice travel compaign.
