divider

Kawthoung, BirmanieS/Y Aventure's port of embarkation for the cruises in Mergui Archipelago is Kawthaung in Myanmar. You'll have to pass by Ranong, the main border town on the Thailand's side to get to the yacht. Once the customs clearance completed, it takes only 15mn by long-tail boat to board Aventure. The closest international airports are in Phuket and Krabi.

Kawthaung is the southern town in Myanmar. Boasting a very important commercial interest, it is a typical Southeast Asian town featuring strong Indian and Muslim influences. Kawthaung pier is buzzing with activities, and the market is really worth a visit. It is also the main port of embarkation for the few lucky ones allowed to sail in Mergui Archipelago.

Getting to Kawthaung :

    - From Phuket: four-hour journey by minibus from Phuket to Ranong then 15 minutes in taxi boat from Ranong to Kawthaung
    - From Krabi: five-hour journey by minibus from Phuket to Ranong then 15 minutes in taxi boat from Ranong to Kawthaung
    - From Rangoon (Myanmar): Air Bagan / Air KBZ / Air Mandalay / Myanmar Airways

Dans le marché de KawthoungPlease note that in Myanmar, domestic flights are often delayed; therefore you should plan to arrive in Kawthaung early morning or the day before the departing of your cruise. Custom clearance at Kawthaung pier can also last for a while before we are allowed to depart, so the earlier you get on board, the earlier we can sail.
