Myanmar
Andaman Sea and the Archipelago.
The Myanmar
Andaman sea is a almost unexplored part of
the Indian Ocean bordering India,
Bangladesh, Myanmar and partly Thailand with
almost no contact to any foreigners except
the Thai part. The last times foreigners
were seen in the Andaman Sea was during
British colonial time, now slowly some "live
aboard" diving tours are offered out of
Thailand .
From the end of British colonial times until
recent days no foreigners have been allowed
into the Myeik / Mergui archipelago, the
area off the Myanmar Tanintharyi /
Tennasserim coast.
The Andaman Sea around is
dotted with more than 800 untouched islands,
densely forested with jungle, usually a
frontline of white beaches and sometimes
rocks.
One of the very few “virgin” places on this
planet, above and under the ocean surface. In 1990
the Myanmar government changed the mostly English
names of the islands to native names. On all the islands there are no hotels
or similar, except one very near to the
Thai border but on a Myanmar island,
this resort includes a casino. If you
ever might go to the islands, don’t be
shy to ask if you can stay in one on the
houses. Pls. keep in mind to pay
accordingly.
Since the end of the 90 - ties some
diving companies operating out of
Phuket,
Thailand, got permission to explore the
waters.
