Guests from Middle East will appreciate the privacy provided by folding screens.

LEISURELY DAY
ON THE SEA

Advertorial by Kamila Delart

See also: Tropical Charters

Driving along the coastline with breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea, I realize that it has been ages since I indulged in a marine adventure. And that despite living on this beautiful island! If other people can fly across the globe to explore our magical archipelago, surely I should be able to set a day aside! Before my ‘internal boss’ interferes, reminding me of all the assignments I should be working on, I reach for my cell phone and arrange a Day Cruise with TROPICAL CHARTERS. The best idea I had in the last few months!

Boarding the Seasation a few days later, I marvel at how spacious the twin deck catamaran is. There is a lower deck with colorful Thai - triangle mats that lure to sunbathing, and when I climb the stairs I discover a huge shaded area with upholstered benches along the railing and two huge loungers in the very middle. The perfect spot to sprawl out and enjoy the view!

By SHARANJIT SINGH | sharanjit@nst.com.my 

RESORT REMAINS CLOSED: Police say it’s a civil dispute and they cannot do anything

LANGKAWI: GUESTS at the popular Beach  Garden Resort at Pantai  Chenang here were shocked  when a group of villagers suddenly  turned up at the place and started  sealing the outlet.

The loutish group also threatened  the resort staff to leave the place  before placing barbed wire at the  entry points and red plastic tape  along the perimeter.
