Thailand Cruises | Intrepid Travel MT

With hundreds of lush tropical islands, each more beautiful than the last – Thailand just might be heaven on earth.

Stretching south of Bangkok past the Myanmar border, Southern Thailand is a narrow strip of jungle-clad hills surrounded by some of the most gorgeous islands you’ve ever seen. Boulder-studded beaches give way to tropical forests housing national parks, hidden waterfalls and exotic animals. Limestone cliffs jut out from brilliant aquamarine waters brimming with underwater treasures. The Andaman Sea is warm, clear and filled with coral reef, making it a fantastic place for snorkelling and scuba diving. With so many tropical islands to choose from, there’s no better way to experience Southern Thailand than by boat; you can drop anchor wherever you like and cruise from one incredible island or snorkel spot to the next.
