Long white sandy
beaches only sometimes a
few fisherman are seen,
coconut palms swaying in the
breeze, green forests behind
the beach, exotic plants,
creeks, bays and hills. Some
of the most idyllic beaches
are at the islands. There is
only one beach resort close
to
Kawthaung,
actually its casino with a
resort built and run by Thai
people.
The
Myeik
archipelago or
Mergui archipelago with sea
gypsies called Salone was
very busy during colonial
times because many vessels

and beyond. The goods where
loaded onto elephants
carried to the then capital
of Siam which was
Ayutthaya and
some even to China and
Japan, this went also vice
versa,
read
it here.
It's thought that the
Andaman Islands in the
Myeik
or Mergui Archipelago
have been inhabited for more
than 20,000 years. The first
reported contacts were made
more than 1,000 years ago by
Chinese, Indian and Arabian
travelers.
