"Arctracer" first sailed up the Malacca Strait when we arrived from Indonesia in November 2005. We then spent a couple years in the Langkawi - Phuket area with one trip up to the Surin and Similan Islands. In 2008 we sailed back down the Strait, around Singapore, to Borneo and then to Tioman Island, and then back around Singapore and up through the Strait. In 2009 we sailed down the Strait, around Singapore, up to Ko Samui in Thailand, then south around Singapore. In 2010 we sailed up to the Thai-Burmese border.
