LANGKAWI MALAYSIA
WEATHER
The weather in Malaysia and Thailand from July to August has an average high temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and an
average low of 25 degrees Celsius. This is the wet season however the average daily sunshine is 9 hours. Rainfall averages
260-300 mm with 19 days of rain. The sea temperature is approximately 30 degrees Celsius and the average wind speed is
6.5 miles per hour.
MALAY CULTURE THAI CULTURE
Malaysia is a multi–ethnic, multicultural, and
multilingual society, and the many ethnic groups
in Malaysia maintain separate cultural identities.
The original culture of the area stemmed from its
indigenous tribes, along with the Malays who
moved there in ancient times.
Thai culture is deeply influenced by religion. With
around 95% of the country being Theraveda Buddhist,
the belief system and values of Buddhism play a huge
role in day-to-day life. Throughout the country, the
most important values that Thai people hold to are
respect, self-control, and a non-confrontational
attitude.
CONSERVATION
Places like the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary (the first ethical
elephant sanctuary in Phuket), put the welfare of
elephants first and do not offer bathing, rides, shows, mud
bathing, trunk hugging, elephant kisses, sitting on or lying
on the elephants, loud noisy groups, or people constantly
crowding around the elephants. What you do get is a
chance to feed and walk near them as they roam, bathe,
play, and socialize naturally and support their care.
TRAVEL IN STYLE

Constructions Nautiques du Sud-Ouest

Time to leave the land and strike out for adventure! What better way than to start with “The Hole in the Wall”
Located at the Kilim Karst Geoforest Park just to the south of a small islet, west of Pulau Langguan and on the west side of
the channel, is a creek opening, locally known as the “Hole in the Wall”. There is a fish farm and a small restaurant near
the jetty for great fried rice; telephone and internet are available. For the more adventurous, the mangrove passageways
south and west lead to a number of limestone caves. The branch on the right starts at the fish farm and can be followed
for a further two miles northwest to pass right through some caves. On the other side, continue further through a newly
blasted passage into southern creek head of Tanjong Rhu. Macaque monkeys are known to be plentiful in this area and
you may see a few eating by the side.

PHI PHI ISLANDS
DAY 6: Koh Rok to Ko Phi Phi
6.75 hrs cruising
The Phi Phi islands lie approximately 18 miles south of Krabi, the largest and most developed being Phi Phi
Don.
Ton Sai Bay is the most convenient for shopping. This is Thailand’s most popular destination, the islands are
encircled by water so clear you can almost see the seabed from the surface. The main island of Phi Phi Don
is geologically two islands joined together by a sand spit just above sea level, with a large expanse of fringing
reef in the northern bay. The honeycombed cliff faces rising from crystal clear waters, together with the
laid-back ambiance, will always attract many visotors from the neighbouring tourist hubs of Phuket, Krabi
and Phang Nga provinces.
Phi Phi Le
Maya Bay the location for the 1999 blockbuster cult film “The Beach” – is a spectacularly scenic
lagoon. Surrounded by soaring limestone cliffs, it harbours three sandy beaches. On the eastern side of the
island the Viking Cave is worth seeing.
Phuket Phuket is among the world’s finest beach destinations, with fine white sands,
nodding palm trees, glittering seas and lively towns. It has something for any
taste and budget, with hundreds of hotels to choose from, a wide choice of
dining and partying options. Aside from visiting the fantastic attractions of
Thailand’s biggest island, you can take an exhilarating speedboat trip to the
many nearby tropical paradises, or enjoy a serene cruise around the mystical
Phang Nga Bay.
DAY 7: Ko Phi Phi to Phuket
≈4 hrs cruising
For the last day of the trip we will make our way to Phuket. Phuket is blessed with more than 30 amazing
beaches to choose from. Patong Beach, Kata, Karon and Kamala have always been the most popular, but the
north of the island reveals some hidden gems for travellers searching for a more romantic atmosphere. Phuket
has an impressive selection of night markets to choose from. Each has its own unique charms, but all offer
interesting souvenirs at low prices. They are an excellent place to try local street food and snacks, and some
also have street performances and music. Being open in the evenings means that you don't get too hot while
getting your shopping fix
