The travellers have begun visiting the Wah Ale Resort, located in the Lampi Marine National Park, which is famous for the natural beauty of the sea, forests and diverse wildlife.
This year, Wah Ale Resort was opened in the second week of November, and local travellers have already begun visiting, while the travel companies in Kawthoung estimate that more foreign visitors will come by late December. The resort’s travel season usually closes in March.
The Lampi Marine National Park boasts not only natural beauty but also reptiles and amphibians, and Wah Ale Resort, situated in the deep forest, offers a nature-based tourism experience focused on tranquillity and environmental preservation, and tourists mostly prefer such a situation. The visitors can kayak through the mangrove forests, explore rare plant species and birds, and enjoy the natural scenery.
“Travellers start visiting the Wah Ale Resort during this year’s travel season. As it is located inside Lampi Marine National Park, visitors can enjoy a nature experience that is completely different from urban recreation. When the cold season arrives, both local and foreign travellers usually visit to enjoy the island’s seas, forests, and wildlife. Visitors can also closely observe the traditions of the local Salone people, and the fresh seafood is another attraction that brings visitors back again,” said U Kyi Oo, head of the Lampi Marine National Park.
At the Wah Ale Resort, services are typically offered at US$800 per foreign visitor or US$1,500 per couple. In order to facilitate faster travel, special flight arrangements have been made, and improved transportation services are helping to attract more travellers.
The Lampi Marine National Park, which possesses extraordinary biodiversity and ecosystems, is located in the Myeik Archipelago of Taninthayi Region with over 800 islands stretching along the 600-kilometre coastline of the Andaman Sea. The park boasts evergreen forests, mangrove forests, seagrass, coral reefs, and numerous endangered land and marine species and rare plants, and attracts both local and foreign visitors.
