Ibizwa ngokuthi 'ipharadesi lesiqhingi sokugcina', i-Mergui Archipelago iyisiqhingi esikhulu esingakathuthukiswa, asivunyelwe kubo bonke kuze kube muva nje. Ezakhiwe iziqhingi ezingahlali muntu ezingama-800 ezihlakazeke endaweni engamakhilomitha angama-600 oLwandle i-Andaman, izivakashi ezizovakashela leli qoqo leziqhingi ezicezile zizoba phakathi kwabokuqala abazohlola ihlane elihlanzekile, babeke unyawo ogwini oluselugwadule olunesihlabathi esimhlophe, bagwedle emahlathini asendulo futhi bavakashele amadolobhana. iqembu lesizwe samaMoken ezihamba olwandle.

I-Mergui Archipelago ayaziwa kabanzi, ngisho naphakathi kochwepheshe bezokuvakasha, ngenxa yendawo yayo ekude 'engekho-the-beaten-track' kanye nokuntuleka kwengqalasizinda nezinsiza.

Njengoba kuvunyelwe izikebhe ezimbalwa zokucwila emanzini zisuka e-Phuket yaseThailand eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule, le ndawo okunzima ukufika kuyo yaziwa emibuthanweni yokutshuza ngempilo yayo yasolwandle emangalisayo, okuhlanganisa imisebe ye-manta noshaka. Ucwaningo olwengeziwe, oluvame ukwenziwa ososayensi bakwamanye amazwe njengoba iMyanmar ivulela umhlaba wonke kulandela amashumi eminyaka yokubusa kwezempi, sembule izinhlobonhlobo zezitshalo nezilwane, okuhlanganisa nezinhlobo ezingandile nezisengozini yokushabalala.

Ngokombono wesivakashi, lezi ziqhingi zilungele ukutshuza, ukutshuza emanzini, i-kayaking, i-paddle-boarding, ukuhamba kwemvelo, ukubuka izinyoni nezilwane zasendle kanye ne-beach safaris, nephuzu eliyingqayizivele lomehluko ukungabikho kwezinye izivakashi.

Ukuntula intuthuko kwesifunda uma kuqhathaniswa nePhuket eseduze kungenxa yokuzwela kwezombusazwe kanye nokulawulwa kwemingcele - kanye nedumela laso njengendawo engenamthetho yezigebengu nokudoba ngokungemthetho. Ngokusuka ezindaweni ezimbili eziphethwe yizizwe ezimbili, ama-95% eziqhingi awela ngaphakathi kwemingcele yaseMyanmar, eneziqhingi ezingama-40 kuphela ochungechungeni olungezaseThailand.

Kule minyaka embalwa edlule kuphela lapho izivakashi zikwazi khona ukulala ubusuku bonke esiqhingini saseMacleod endaweni yokuqala yokungcebeleka yalezi ziqhingi, I-Myanmar Andaman Resort, futhi ngo-2017 i I-Eco-Resort yase-Boulder Bay kwavulwa kwesinye seziqhingi ezingaphandle, nge-island safaris egibele I-Sea Gipsy ukuthatha izivakashi island-hopping.

Indawo yokudlela yase-rustic ogwini lolwandle olukhulu yenziwe ngezivalo ezindala kanye nezinkuni ezisindisiwe ezakhiweni ezidiliziwe esifundeni, futhi kuzoba nejimu ehlathini, kanye ne-spa ehlinzeka ngemasaji kusetshenziswa imikhiqizo yasendaweni.

Endaweni esondelene nechweba elinesihlabathi, elifinyeleleka emanzini aphansi ngasogwini, noma emzileni wemoto kagesi phezu kwegquma elincane, izindlu eziyi-11 ezinamatende ezisabalele endaweni eyikhilomitha ubude zihlinzeka ngendawo yokuhlala eyinhloko, enezindawo zokucasha eziphakeme ezintathu ezinikeza izakhamuzi umuzwa. lokuba sehlathini. Izindlu zangasese ezinamatende zasogwini, ezihlangana nendawo yendawo futhi zihlotshiswe ngemibala yemvelo, zinikeza ukunethezeka nokuklama okukhulu, ngokunaka imininingwane nokuhlela okucabangelayo okuvumela izivakashi ukuba ziphumule futhi zivuselelwe indawo eshisayo eshisayo, umsindo. olwandle luthulisa abahambi abakhathele ebuthongweni obukhulu. Ama-villas alingana nomndeni angakwazi ukuhlalisa umbhangqwana noma abantu abangafika kwabangu-4, kanti ama-villas aphezulu esihlahla asondelene kakhulu aklanyelwe amabili.
