Discover the Mergui Archipelago
Mergui Archipelago: the Jewel of Burma…
Scattered like pearls on a blue velvet bedsheet, a group of around 800 islands stretches across the Andaman Sea just off the eastern coast of Myanmar. This is Burma’s tropical paradise, the Mergui Archipelago.
The British colonial name of “Mergui” still remains, as opposed to the Burmese “Myeik”. Myanmar has turquoise waters, palm-fringed white-sand beaches, amazing dive sites, rich wildlife and mangrove forests. Yet, despite having only a few islands in Thailand comparatively, the Mergui Archipelago is far less famous than its Andaman Sea neighbours, the Surin and Similan Islands.
In fact, the Myeik Archipelago is one of the world’s best-kept secrets, partly because it was only opened to tourism in 1997 and remains subject to quite strict regulations.
