Your typical day cruise on board the thai fun:
You will be picked up from the beach at your resort at around 8:30 AM. This will usually be a pick up on the beach by the Thai Fun's own small small boat. You will ten be ferried to the Thai Fun which has stopped a short distance from the beach.
Whilst cruising to make the other passenger pickups you will be offered tea of coffee or other light refreshments. The Thai Fun will then head in a Southerly direction, passing the West coast of Koh Chang, past Bang Bao, past Koh Klum, then towards Koh Wai. Here there is a stop at the jetty close to the Koh Wai
Paradise resort. You can either snorkel in the coral waters, or relax on the beach, or take some refreshments in the resaurant of the Paradis Resort.
Following 45 minutes or so at Koh Wai, the Thai Fun will head towards Koh Mak. During this time a buffet lunch is served, and there is a choice of either medium-spicy Thai style or Italian style food on offer.
The Thai Fun will next stop by dropping anchor off the beach at the Koh Mak Resort. Should you wish to snorkel here, then you can do so by entering the sea via the Thai Fun's ladder. You also have the option of going ashore by small boat, for further relaxation.
Following an hour or so at Koh Mak, the Thai Fun will next set sail towards Koh Rang. If you are only going to snorkel at one spot on this trip, then the stopping point near Koh Rang is the place to do it. The sea here is usually crystal clear, and some areas have unspoilt coral of many colours. Tropical fish abound here. You will have around one hour of snorkeling time at this location.
At around 4:30 PM, the Thai Fun will set sail for her return to Koh Chang. At this time you should indulge yourself in an ice cool beer or othr refreshment from the well stocked bar on board the vessel. The Thai Fun will dispatch her customers back to their resorts, by small boat. You should be back at your resort at around 6:00 PM.

For example, depart Koh Chang on the Thai Fun on Monday. Dis-embark at Koh Mak on Monday at midday. Stay at Koh Mak for 2 nights (or more, or fewer nights).
