Adaman Coast is a paradise in Thailand with mangroves tropical islands and emerald coves set in electric-blue waters. The Adaman Coast is one of the world’s best-known beach destination and the vacation options there vary from some of the most luxe accommodations on the planet to pristine natural areas accessible only to those willing to rough them.

Adaman area is also famous for its lush coral reefs, caves and the green-shrouded sugar rocks rising from the sea in Phang Nga Bay.

Despite all these fabulous facts, the softy humid breezes of the Adaman Coast carry an eho of menace. At the end of 2004, the beach Khao Lak was littered with bodies and debris. The tsunami disaster killed a quarter-million people worldwide and more than 8,000 in Thailand – fishermen, villagers and others

But today the spot is a placid seaside with few signs of the disaster. The picture displays a scuba instructor in Khao Lak, which is also a heaven for divers.
