So, I'm having a hard time deciding where to base ourselves and where to dive while we are on our 'beach' portion of our Thailand trip. We will be heading down from Chiang Mai on Nov 27th and can stay in the area until Dec 4th when we will fly to BKK to head back home. We have 7 days and I'm just not sure where to dive with limited time. Initially I was thinking of flying into Phuket, making our way that same day up to Khao Lak and then diving Similian/Surin. I had another post going about a 2 day/1 night trip that goes to Richelieu Rock. I'm still looking into that. If not, would you rec'd a speedboat out to dive the Richelieu for the day or doing the Similian Islands. At that point would it be necessary to go up to Khao Lak or could we dive Similain and/or Surin based in Phuket?
Then I was thinking we'd move on to either Phi Phi or Koh Lanta and base ourselves there for the remainder and do a 1 day trip out around that area.
Or with only 7 days would you rec'd just picking one place and diving from there? Maybe a 2day/1 night trip to Phi Phi, Hin Daeng/Hin Mouang??
About us...we both have our AOW and last year did a 4 day liveaboard on the GBR. We are excited to dive in Thailand, but definitely want to use a good portion of the 7 days relaxing at a nice resort/hotel. We enjoy the option to check out various restaurants in the evening and also like exploring the area and love to rock climb.
I know I'm asking for a lot, but I'd be very interested in hearing your opinions. If you were my Travel Agent where do you think you'd send me so I could get in some great diving, some great R&R without being too isolated?
Thank you!!!
