Greetings, Does anyone have information about renting a kayak in western Thailand on the Andaman Sea? Not looking for a tour group and prefer to paddle a decked boat. Any stories about your own Thailand paddling experiences and routes would be appreciated too.

Hi Tina, My friend had previously brought to my attention this kayak rental service provider called Paddleasia at http://paddleasia.com/rentals.htm, which I think is really suitable for us paddlers who are interested in doing serious touring in real seak kayaks instead of just a short hour or two paddle around in a sit-on-top. I only took a SOT out at sea for two hours just off Krabi-Phra Nang area when I was there for a climbing trip last December - the numerous sea caves are really worth exploring, and the nice emerald green waters will tempt you to abandon your kayak and jump in for a snorkel...good to bring your snorkelling gear along! Look out for the right season for paddling though, the tempestuous monsoon weather is a real danger, and it comes at different times for the east coast and the west coast of southeast Asia; definitely important to do some preliminary research.
