Big Buddha, Shipwrecks & Turquoise Water: A Day in Chalong Bay - The Cruising Guide Expedition Series

This week, we're dropping anchor off the quiet island of Koh Lon in Chalong Bay, just south of Phuket, as the Cruising Guide Expedition continues aboard the Southern Star.While most visitors race past this corner of Phuket, we're taking our time to explore one of the area's best protected anchorages during the southwest monsoon. Along the way, we take in views of the Big Buddha, discover a forgotten shipwreck, peek over toward Koh He's famous snorkeling reefs, and share what life is really like aboard a cruising sailboat when you're living on Fruit Loops and instant ramen instead of five-star resort buffets.If you've ever wondered what it's like to sail the Andaman Sea one anchorage at a time, this episode gives you a front-row seat.Whether you'd like to charter a sailboat for a week, join one of our future expeditions, or simply want help planning an unforgettable island-hopping itinerary, I'd be happy to help.Email me at [email protected] and put "Itinerary" in the subject line. I'll personally point you in the right direction and answer any questions you have.Until then... Sawasdee Krup, Bill MullenP.S. - Travel Far, Connect Deeply and Live Fully
