It’s true, not everything is open and back to normal on Phuket. There are some activities you can’t do …. party all night for example. However, there is still so much to do. Sailing, fishing, snorkel and dive tours. Visit temples and the Big Buddha. Dine out of delicious Thai food, swim at the beaches and so much more. #accommodation #phuket #iVisa #insurance #thingstodo

What can I say about 2020? It has undoubtedly been a year of ups and downs for most people, I am sure. For us, 2020 has been 366 days of love, excitement and fun, as well as frustration, fear and bafflement. We have, surprisingly, still managed to do quite a lot of travelling during this time. – 7 flights took us 10,658km by air. We sailed two boats 6461 nautical miles and we enjoyed road trips and camping and travelled 4300km on land.
Our latest yacht trip, aboard SY Nomad, began in Thailand, took us through Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia during a time when the world became paralysed by fears of coronavirus. Gunshots, lockdowns, enforced quarantine, storm, engine trouble, damaged sails.
The snorkelling and diving in Pulau Weh, and the other islands of the Sabang area, was outstanding! We were truly astounded by the amount of fish, variety of marine life and the size of some of the fish we saw… We saw a manta ray, sharks, nudibranchs, frogmouth fish, ribbon eels and a gargantuan sweetlip. We also saw lionfish, scorpionfish, shrimpfish, long-horned cowfish, peacock manta shrimp, painted lobsters, sea snakes, and the entire star-studded cast of Finding Nemo!
We went snorkelling and diving at Koh Phi Phi Don, Koh Rok, Koh Racha, Koh Ha Yai & Koh Racha Yai. Snorkelling in a cave and night snorkelling.
