Yesterday was a day filled with excitement and tranquillity as we embarked on a fishing journey to the stunning Racha Island. Departing from M9 Chalong, our small group consisted of two enthusiastic explorers and a seasoned fishpro, all eager to experience the joys and thrills of fishing in these pristine waters.
The Journey to Racha Island
Our trip began with a refreshing 40-minute boat ride from Chalong to Racha Island. The journey was as picturesque as it was invigorating, with the gentle sea breeze and the rhythmic sounds of the waves creating a perfect backdrop for our adventure. As we approached the island, the clear blue waters and the lush greenery of Racha welcomed us, promising an unforgettable day ahead.
Fishing in the Heart of the Andaman Sea
Upon reaching our destination, we wasted no time and dove straight into fishing. For around two hours, we were immersed in the art and excitement of fishing, guided by our experienced fishpro. The Andaman Sea, known for its rich marine life, did not disappoint. Each catch was a moment of triumph, met with cheers and awe by our small group.
Snorkeling and Relaxation in the Bay
After the exhilarating fishing session, we shifted gears and moved towards a more serene experience. We anchored in a tranquil bay, renowned for its vibrant underwater world. Snorkelling in these clear waters was like entering a different universe. The underwater spectacle of colourful fish and coral reefs was mesmerizing, a perfect counterpoint to the morning's adrenaline rush.

We brought along a camera to document our journey, and the footage is nothing short of breathtaking.
