The region is still partially untravelled, and you rarely encounter other boats. There are many good anchorages in secluded coves where you can enjoy the overwhelming beauty of the Andaman Sea all by yourself. With a stunning backdrop, Thailand is an island paradise. Sailing here, amid the emerald seas, you can find sparkling white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and many secluded coves and cliffs.
Discover Thailand’s Stunning Islands
There are various attractions on the west coast, such as the Bay of Phang Nga with its offshore islands or the 120 km long Krabi coastline with many natural lagoons. The Koh Phi Phi Islands, Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe, Phi Phi Le, Koh Tarutao, Koh Similan, Koh Surin, and many other beautiful islands are abundant here. Another idyllic sailing area is the Gulf of Thailand. The overseas Thai territories have beautiful marine life and are perfect for snorkeling and diving.
Thailand’s main yacht charter area is the island of Phuket. Many marinas provide good service and facilities on the island, such as Marina Phuket Yacht Harbor, Ao Po Grand Marina, Ao Chalong Yacht Club, and Lagoon Phuket Boat. In Thailand, the selection of charter yachts is relatively wide. However, the sailing infrastructure is not as well developed as in Europe. The Marina at northern Phuket is a good starting point for a sailing trip, as it has modern facilities and can accommodate over 200 charter yachts. There are also fine starting points for the Ao Po Grand Marina and the Ao Chalong Yacht Club Marina. The west coast of Thailand and its islands can be explored from these points. Koh Samui and Koh Chang have other yacht charter options. There is a decent range of yachts here, but the sailing infrastructure is worse than in Phuket.
A few other ports and marinas are situated outside the Charter Bases. Thailand has laws and regulations that are very relaxed. For sailors, there are no area limits so that charter crews can travel very quickly. As for the living costs, Thailand is an inexpensive destination, and chartering a yacht is considered a privilege.
