The Perm Poon Sub Boat at Bang Bao

Their taxi will pick you up from your resort, or from our shop, at around 8:10 AM, and you will be driven to Bang Bao and escorted to the end of the pier (Bang Bao pier is a must see anyway!) where you will be welcomed on board the Perm Poon Sub traditional Thai style boat. At 9:00 AM, or there-abouts, the boat will leave the pier and head to the South West and the Koh Rang archipelago of small islands.

Whilst in the vicinity of the islands, a lunch is provided. It has been prepared on board by the cook. It is a Thai style with pork, rice, fried vegetables, fried egg. Not too spicy - you can add your own quantity of spicy sauce, to your own taste. Delicious fresh fruit follows, and beer and soft drinks are available for purchase. As well as lunch, a further 2 small snacks are provided. On our trip, some delicious barbecued squid and roast potatoes were on offer.

Lunch is ready

Snorkeling equipment and safety shirts are provided free of charge, and fins can be rented for 100 baht. The boat has some kayaks that can be used if you need to take a rest fom the snorkelling. The snorkelling around Koh Rang, where all of the stops are, is the best there is in the Koh Chang vicinity. At each stop, do ask the Perm Poon Sub staff to show you where the best snorkelling spots are. They will be happy to swim with you. 

Weather and sea conditions permitting, you should make up to 4 stops for snorkeling at the islands of Koh Thong Yang, Koh Yak Lek, Koh Mapring and Koh Rang. Most of the stops involve snorkelling from the boat, but the stop at Koh Rang gives you the opportunity to swim to the sandy beach for some relaxation. Each stop is for around 1 hour, and the boat departs for her return to Koh Chang at around 4:00 PM. You should arrive at Bang Bao by 5:30 PM and be back in your resort at around 6:00 PM.
