Travel in 2026 favours unhurried days and sharper details – the sort of trips where the journey itself doesn’t test your stomach. In Phuket, Sawanu Travel picks up on that shift with its first open house, offering a clearer look at what time on the Andaman can be when it’s done properly.
Front and centre is the ‘Kelly’, a high-spec cruiser that truly rewrites the usual speedboat routine. It moves quickly but stays composed, easing that familiar wobble. Inside, wide windows keep the cabin bright and breezy, while the open deck delivers uninterrupted sea views that demand a quick photo stop. Two spacious restrooms cover the basics, leaving you free to settle in without fuss.
The programmes keep their original shape, just sharpened. Four routes anchor the line-up. Phi Phi and Khai Islands Programme plays as a full day for water lovers, with sliders, paddleboards, clear kayaks and floating mats turning the sea into a playground.
Phi Phi and Bamboo Island Programme takes a slower pace, made for long swims in glassy water and proper switching off. Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island Programme frames those dramatic limestone cliffs, adds canoe sessions and a stop at the heart-shaped tree viewpoint. Similan Islands Programme draws divers and snorkellers with bright marine life and the landmark Sailing Rock.
What stays with you sits beyond the itinerary, though. Traditional dance performances unfold between stops, Baba-Yaya dress anchors the sense of place, and regional sweets pull everything back to Phuket. It keeps the experience grounded, experiential and clear of any faux-polished gloss.
At its core, Sawanu Travel focuses on refining service while raising the standard of Thai marine tourism. Guided by ‘The Whole Journey Matters,’ every detail is considered, not just the destination, but how it feels along the way. In the end, what stays with you is the ease, the moments, and the quiet happiness throughout the journey.
