Gatsby's Travel Tips for Adventurers
As an up-and-coming outdoor destination in Myanmar, Mergui is yet to be overflowed with tourists. No better time for this wonderful mecca! Here are some travel tips for you:
- All sightseeing/sailing/onboard adventures are handled by only a handful of companies with certain operation licenses and certificates from both Myanmar and Thailand. Registration page should be the first thing that you check into before placing down a booking.
- Travelers are required to obtain a permit to get on the islands in Mergui, which will be handled by the boat company. All you need to do is to make sure you have a valid Myanmar visa and a scanned copy of the visa.
- Some boating programs include islands in Thailand. In that case, a valid Thailand visa is also required. Not possible to apply for visa-on-arrival, though.
- As travel permit takes 3 to 7 working days to process; most travel agents wouldn't accept bookings made within 3 days although express service is available.
- All equipment needed for water sports is included in the service and under professional crew's instructions. Divers are required to present a diving license.
- To protect the oceanic environment, we strongly suggest you don't use sunscreen while diving, which is proved to be fatal for corals and other marine life.
