7 - 11 July 2011
Off the east coast of Phuket, is Nakah Island. From Ao Por Pier, a long tail boat took us to Tenta Nakara, on the east side of Naka Island. This small, well cared for, resort has a few “huts” or “luxury tents” all with amazing views and a restaurant with delicious food. There is no electricity on the Island, so there is only electricity in the restaurant from 6 to 10 pm from generators. You get an oil lamp for your room and a car battery for a small (but effective!) fan. The place is beautiful and we had an amazing time the 4 nights we spent there, away from Phuket’s turist crowds; canoeing around the island, walking to the only small village on the other side of the island, watching the hermit crabs running busy along the beach, reading, swimming...

Walk to Nakah Village. Fishing and Rubber Tree plantations are the main acivities in the village.
We went on two excursions.
First one, to Phi Phi. We went snorkeling, swimming, and saw some beautifull places, including Maya Bay, where they filmed The Beach.
On the second excursion, we went sea canoeing. A boat took us to diferent islands, where we got in our canoes and went in caves to explore the inside lagoons of the islands.
