August 9, 2021 Janean Rudisill

Thandwe ("Thandway" in Arakanese)(Burmese: သံတွဲမြို့; MLCTS: samtwai: mrui. [θàɴdwɛ́ mjo̰]; formerly Sandoway) is a town and major seaport in Rakhine State, the westernmost part of Myanmar.

The country is mountainous, the Arakan Mountains sending out spurs which reach the coast. Some of the peaks in the north attain 4,000 and more ft. The streams are only mountain torrents to within a few miles of the coast; the mouth of the Khwa forms a good anchorage for vessels of from 9 to 10 ft (3.0 m). draught. The rocks in the Arakan Range and its spurs are metamorphic, and comprise clay, slates, ironstone and indurated sandstone; towards the south, ironstone, trap and rocks of basaltic character are common; veins of steatite and white fibrous quartz are also found. Between 1961 and 1990, the mean annual rainfall was 5,323 millimetres (209.6 in). Except a few acres of tobacco, all the cultivation is rice.

Reviewed By millyboxley1 - Chichester, United Kingdom

Stay at Pristine Mermaid Hotel as best hotel and location on the beach and the beach massages are to die for! Avoid Hilton area as quite a lot of stones and either end of the beach where Pristine is more for backpackers and has a fishing village at south of beach which sadly has a lot of litter.

Asia Whale Ngapali Water Sport Center - Private Adventures

Reviewed By Wanitat_travels - Johannesburg, South Africa

What a great afternoon! We were collected from the hotel on time and driven to the local harbor. Boarded the boat and given light snacks as we headed out. Grabbed our snorkeling kit (that was supplied) and descended with a crew of 2 into the warm ocean waters to marvel at the coral and fish. We swam out to a white beach covered with shells to rest and enjoy the late afternoon sun. A small little boat took us back to the main boat to enjoy fresh fruit, nuts and refreshments ... as we watched a magnificent sunset. The crew were professional, friendly and hospitable. As per the itinerary we were back at our hotel early evening after an afternoon well spent. Would highly recommend this experience
