       Sea 
        canoeing is a thrilling alternative to the likes of scuba diving and yachting. 
        One can explore the island and its various island caves during one to 
        seven day voyages into a hidden world as unspoiled as anywhere on earth. 
        In comparison to yachting, sea canoeing can be said to be observing the 
        world from down under. 
      
       North 
        of Phuket, Ranong is Thailand's least populated province, with a largely 
        mountainous landscape. The area is well worth visiting for its simple 
        charm arising from being off the beaten track. There are however a number 
        of specific attractions nearby Ranong town such as the hot springs and 
        health spa with first class accommodation, and two extremely attractive 
        waterfalls. 
      
        Situated 
        northeast of Phuket, Phang Nga Bay is one of the world's great adventure 
        trips. A 'longtail' boat takes you through mangrove swamps, caves dripping 
        with stalactites, and out into the bay where scores of tiny volcanic islands 
        soar hundreds of feet skywards. Some rise sheer from the water, others 
        are lumped or jagged, and all are strange and hauntingly beautiful. Adding 
        to Phang Nga's stunning sights are a fishing village built entirely on 
        stilts over the sea.
