Ko Pha Ngan

Transport picked us up on time at the hotel. Welcome at the boat was very friendly, there are cold beverages on the ship and large bean bags for everyone to sit on and relax throughout the cruise. The crew and the guides were cool, the ship is nice. They prepared some snacks for the cruise and since the first part of the trip leads all the way north of Mu Ko Ang Thon it may take some time (~ 2hrs+) before the first break for snorkeling. Lunch afterwards was plenty and delicous. Mu Ko Ang Thong is a calm experience. It was nice to see that they rather try to preserve these islands than to ruin them with loads of tourist activities. Returning to Samui you will eventually witness the sunset which makes a nice conclusion of the tour along with some maybe clichee but still cool reggae and surfer tunes. To prevent any misinterpretation though it should be (even more) obvious that park admission fees are not optional but will be collected in cash.
