• We provided complimentary transfers from Khao Lak or Kuraburi hotels/resorts
• Khao Lak resorts – pick up from 6.50am to 7.40am
• Pick up time depends on:
• 1)Location of your hotel in Khao Lak stretch along the Andaman Coast. Southern resorts will require an earlier collection time
• 2) Time of season – Peak season at Christmas & New Year is likely to be busy so there may be a wider range in available collection times.
• Kuraburi resort – pick up from Boon Piya Resort in Kuraburi Town at 8.00 – 8.15am for arrival into Kuraburi Pier at 8.30am.
• We can also arrange accommodation at Boon Piya Resort if you like.

We have to be concerned about our impact on the marine environment while enjoying this beautiful location. In fact, we have to be aware that the corals provide protection and shelter for so many different species of fish.

Coral turns carbon dioxide in the water into a limestone shell. Without coral, the amount of carbon dioxide in the water would rise dramatically and that would affect all living things on our earth and also the quality of the visitor experience to this wonderful area.

SNORKELING:

• Where possible practice snorkel techniques away from live coral: be careful of where you swim with your fins at all times and manage fin kicks, particularly in shallow water, be aware of moving up sediment.
• Do not rest or stand on c If you must stand up, make sure it’s on sand. You could destroy coral reefs; without reefs fish cannot live or reproduce.
• Do not lean on coral for support when taking underwater photographs and avoid touching fragile coral stand
• Do not jab with fingers or interfere with any plants or animals, you may destroy their habitats and disturb the ecosystem
• Enjoy observing animals rather than touching the Manipulating some animals or live corals can be dangerous.
• Do not track or try to capture free-swimming an Avoid blocking their pathway.
• Do not pick up anything underwater, living or dead; always return it to exactly the same place.
• Take time to learn about the underwater environment. Don’t hesitate to ask questions to your guide.

FEEDING FISH:

• Please do not feed the fish.
• They would get used to another type of food which doesn’t exist underwater, or they may get sick. Fish feeding results in changing their feeding behaviour and they won’t graze on algae which, if not managed by the fish, can choke the c
• When animals become habituated to being fed by snorkelers, they may lose some of their ability to find food on their own, or create diseases which can affect population size.
• Fish have their  own  nourishment  in  the  marine  biodiversity,  which  is  adapted  to  their particularities; fish feeding disrupts the natural balance of marine ecosystems.
• If we feed fish, the extra food can stop the fish feeding from their natural habitat. This is important to maintain a healthy ecosystem.
• Fish food tends to make fish more aggressive, and it may also have a damaging effect on the reef and ecosystem

WASTE DISPOSAL

• If a boat does not provide toilets, visitors should use toilets before reaching and after leaving the reef, visitors should not urinate in the water Corals grow in low nutrient waters. If you urinate, the nutrient level in the water increases and that has negative effect on the corals. Corals eventually die when they are exposed to water mixed with urine.
• Use biodegradable sunscreen,  because  UV  blocking  chemicals  used  in  many  popular sunscreens (parabens, cinnamare, benzophenone, camphor derivatives), can rapidly cause viral infections  that  promote  coral  bleaching  which  kills  off  coral  even  at  a  low  concentration. Sunscreens leave a film on the surface water that actually blocks essential UV rays for the marine life and ecosystem
• Koh Surin Island provides recycling containers (glass, plastic, cans…) so keep your garbage on the boat and dispose of it at a recycling depot on shore.

If you are part of the Moken tour, please dress respectfully, smile and try to have contact with the villagers before taking pictures of them, please remember this is a living and working village.
