On December 26th, 2004, the tsunami devastated and destroyed these communities. The communities, which Andaman Discoveries work with, are using community-based tourism to assist with the long-term economic reconstruction of the region and to provide a vital supplementary income. Visiting these villagers, seeing their resilience and hearing their incredible stories is motivational as well as inspirational.
This undiscovered part of Thailand will captivate visitors who wish to learn about traditional ways of life and who want to contribute to the conservation of this outstanding natural environment. Trips are ideal for those wanting to escape over-developed touristy places, avoid other tourists and get off the usual tourist track to try something new.
