The best way to enjoy this scenery is to take a cruise on an old-world styled junk overnight. My father booked a private boat from Indochina Junk that was gorgeously appointed in vintage Asian decor style. Think red glazed wood, framed gold and black motifs, etc.
Besides the landscape, you have your choice of kayaking through the waters, relaxing on the beach, enjoying the stars above or exploring the caves. Meals? You are in for a treat with your private chef who makes multi-course feasts of the freshest seafood.
One of the most fascinating parts of the cruise was a visit to the UNESCO protected Floating village. About 20 families live in the village on houses that float on the water. Their main method of earning a living is farmed fish that they sell in the city markets. Some of the women are employed to row tourists through the waters to visit the village and see the school for children. MAP
