Rough Guides and Michaels Hemmelige Guide

Lucy and "Pink" string soap together in Ban Talae Nok.

Lucy (UK) returned to Kuraburi for the second time in as many years to update the latest edition of “Thailand's Beaches & Islands,” produced for the Rough Guides series. “I have spent a lot of time in Thailand, so some aspects of village life were not new to me. However, I was very glad to experience two different homestays and to spend some time in village activities that are quite new to me.” As a journalist who spends a lot of time in Thailand, Lucy has done similar tours and activities, so it’s especially rewarding for us to get such great feedback from her! Andaman Discoveries also recently appeared in the Danish guidebook “Beach Huts in Thailand” by Michaels Hemmelige, and has since welcomed many guests from Denmark to the north Andaman Coast.

Lucy was also impressed with our guiding and support staff, adding, “special thanks to Tui for guiding and tireless interpreting, and to Karen and Mimi for excellent backup and company. You are doing a great job here!” The several Danish families that have found Andaman Discoveries have also enjoyed their experiences. “The trip exceeded my expectations,” said Anja following a three-day family tour. “Tui is fantastic! The villagers are very, very kind, friendly, and smiling,” she added.
