Thailand yacht charter

Thailand is the bustling sailing hub of Southeast Asia. Offering the most stunning, vast stretches of coastline and unparalleled tropical beauty, Thailand has become a sailing playground for superyachts from around the world. With year-round perfect sailing conditions, hundreds of smaller islands nearby to each other, the possibilities for yacht charters in Thailand are endless. There are two famous regions for yacht charters in Thailand: the southern Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Both offer spectacular natural scenery, peaceful sailing grounds, sheltered bays, and the most ideal weather perfect for cruising.

How much to charter a yacht in Thailand?

There is every imaginable type of yacht in Thailand for a yacht charter. Whether you are a couple in search for a romantic tropical getaway, or a group of friends wanting to enjoy endless parties on deck, or a family looking for the most memorable holiday in Thailand, there's a yacht perfect for your needs. A 40-foot, 3-cabin catamaran for two people on board can coast around $4,200 for seven nights, while a 47-foot sailing catamaran with four cabins can cost about $5,000 for a week's rent. Additionally, a 134-foot, 5-cabin motor yacht can cost around $120,000 for seven nights for ten people on board.

What are the most popular yacht holidays in Thailand?

Two regions in Thailand offer the most popular and most visited by yacht enthusiasts: the islands and coast of the Andaman and the Gulf of Thailand. Let's start with the more popular sailing ground, which is the Andaman Sea. Phuket is the jewel of the Andaman, and it's the most famous island in Thailand. Millions of tourists worldwide visit the island each year for its rich culture and history, and the breathtaking natural beauty surrounding the islands on the Andaman. Yacht charters in Phuket have plenty of options for itineraries, which include Phang Nga Bay, a World Heritage Site, and teeming with smaller islets made of limestone that seem to rise from the sea and into the sky.

With emerald green waters, pristine white beaches, and a plethora of secluded coves, bays, secret beaches, and caves, Phuket and its seas are genuinely a playground for water worshippers. Yacht charters can hop from one island to another in the archipelago of Ao Phang Nga National Park, with lush mangrove forests, limestone pinnacles, and hidden coves on the coast. Or they could head to the beautiful and famous Phi Phi Islands, with breathtaking views, powder white sand beaches, and all the shades of blue in its crystal clear waters. Other popular cruising spots include Krabi's islands, with over a hundred to explore, and the world-class dive spots of Similan and Surin Islands.

On the other side of Thailand, the Gulf of Thailand's coastal towns and islands offer a different atmosphere. More laid-back, rustic, and charming, the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Koh Chang, and the Ang Thong National Park are the most famous cruising spots for yacht charters. Koh Samui is world-famous for its laid back atmosphere but also home to million-dollar villas and 5-start mega-resorts. It's the second most visited island in Thailand but offers a more family-friendly and romantic appeal than Phuket's crowded and tourist spots. Ang Thong National Park, a protected nature reserve, features 40 islands to explore, with each one being close to one another. Other notable cursing destinations in the Gulf of Thailand include Koh Tao and Koh Chang.

Where to go on a luxury yacht charter in Thailand?

Being the sailing center of Southeast Asia, Thailand features luxury yacht charter destinations that offer a plethora of luxury yacht itineraries to choose from. Phuket is the top spot for luxury yacht charters in Thailand, with two world-class marinas: the Yacht Haven Marina, and the Ao Po Grand Marina, offering luxury services and hundreds of berths. Phuket also plays host to international regattas, such as the Phuket King's Cup Regatta, Asia's biggest and most popular regatta. The Phuket International Boat Show also happens once a year on the island, where some of the world's best superyachts are on show.

The seaside resort city of Pattaya is another luxury yacht destination in Thailand. Close to Bangkok, this city is a favorite weekend destination for locals, offering beaches and nearby islands to explore. It is also home to the Ocean Marina Yacht Club, another world-class marina in Thailand. Pattaya also plays host to The Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show, another event in Thailand where superyachts from all over the world are showcased. While Koh Samui doesn't have a marina, the islands offer many safe anchorages for luxury yachts to drop anchor.

Koh Samui has become a favorite for luxury yacht charters because of its popularity with the rich and famous. Offering luxury villas, resorts, spas, and indulgent experiences, superyachts have made their way to Koh Samui and called it home during the country's dry season of November to April. Thailand's magical islands and calms seas offer perfect sailing conditions in Southeast Asia. And with bustling tourism infrastructure, luxury villas, and resorts found on the coast, it is no wonder yacht charters are one of the best ways to enjoy an authentic Thai holiday.

The Yachting°com Sailing Guide to Thailand

Why sail to Thailand?

  • Discover everything from bustling tourist centres and infamous beach parties to completely deserted bays and beaches.
  • Ride elephants, discover Buddhist temples, or just relax with a massage and have some delicious food.
  • The calm sea, beaches, and superb health services make Thailand the ideal place for an exotic holiday with kids. Thai cuisine is famous the world over, but so far, there has been little talk of yachting in Thailand. This makes Thailand from the deck of a sailing yacht all the more attractive! From the deck, you will get a completely new perspective, be able to enjoy places without the daily grind of tourists and make your way to islands where nobody else normally goes.

About Thailand

The Kingdom of Thailand, formerly known as Siam, is located in Southeast Asia. The main part of Thailand is inland, surrounded by Myanmar (Burma), Laos, and Cambodia. The other part lies on the Malay Peninsula and neighbours Malaysia. This area also divides Thailand into two important areas - the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. The Thai coastline is approximately 3,200 km in length. Thailand is a paradise for all kinds of tourists, for all kinds of reasons. More than 90% of Thais are Buddhist and becoming a monk is often seen as a rite of passage in society. Thais in principle, try to avoid conflict and losing face, so even major problems are often resolved with a smile. But where, and what sort of problems could be of concern to us? Let’s get back to the sea! 

yachting in thailand

For sailors like ourselves, Thailand is divided into two areas: the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. The Gulf of Thailand forms the sea east of the Malay Peninsula. In its eastern part lie the islands of Ko Chang, Ko Samet, Ko Sichang, and important cities such as Chanthaburi or the seaside resort of Pattaya. In the western part of the Gulf of Thailand, there are the trio of islands - Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao, as well as the Cha-am and Hua Hin leisure resorts and the town of Phetchaburi with its Khmer ruins. The distance between these areas is approximately 190 NM and there are few sailors here.   

In contrast, the Andaman Sea is a popular destination for sailors. The island of Phuket is the starting point for sailing trips in this region which includes the province of Krabi (with the Phi Phi islands) and the province of Phang Nga. The area is famous for its beautiful limestone rock formations towering high above the sea, forming a unique panorama with an unbelievable variety of around 300 local islands and rocks. North of Phuket, you will find the Similan and Surin islands and to the south, the islands of Ko Lanta, Ko Muk, Ko Kradan, Ko Rok, as well as many others. The beautiful Tarutao National Park is near the border with Malaysia.

Weather and climate

Thailand lies in a monsoon area outside the tropical storm area. When planning a holiday in Thailand, all you need to do is become familiar with where and when it is raining at the time. 

From around the end of November to the end of April, a northeasterly monsoon prevails, while for the rest of the year it is southwesterly. The strength of the wind is around 5-15 kn, and rarely exceeds 20-25 kn. The climate is tropical all year round, with temperatures around 30°C. During the northeasterly monsoon, there is more rainfall in the Gulf of Thailand, while in the Andaman Sea it is the drier season. However, during the southwesterly monsoon, it rains more in the Andaman Sea and less in the Gulf of Thailand. 

   

Where to go and when? Ideally to the Andaman Sea from December to April, when it is driest with the best conditions for sailing, but you can go to Thailand at any time! There are always plenty of safe and beautiful spots to sail! From my personal experience, you can even sail the same route twice because when the monsoon changes, you feel like you're somewhere else entirely. But no matter what, it is always beautiful! 

Thailand's largest island and top tourist destination in the Andaman Sea. You will likely land at the international airport in the north of Phuket and from there, head out to one of the four marinas. The most northerly and most used for chartering is Yacht Haven Marina, which is well-protected in the channel between Phuket and the mainland. At this marina, it is important to consider the tidal currents. In the Andaman Sea, the difference between high tide and low tide can be as much as 3 m! The other marinas are Ao Po, which is problem-free, Boat Lagoon, and the Royal Phuket Marina. At Boat Lagoon and the Royal Phuket Marina, you again have to watch the tide but this time because of the depth. That depth can be as shallow as 40 cm at low tide in the artificial channel. All of these marinas are located on the eastern coastline of Phuket and perfect for exploring Phang Nga Bay and the Krabi province. Along the western coast of Phuket, you will find numerous nice coves suitable for anchoring. They mostly align with Phuket's tourist centres, such as Patong, Karon, Kata, and the southernmost and most beautiful, Nai Harn. The busiest spot to moor on Phuket is Ao Chalong. Ao Chalong is the only place on Phuket where you can register if you plan to sail outside the borders of Thailand. Here, you will find a fuel station with the neighbouring town offering everything else you might need. You can also rent a car or motorbike from here to explore the island.   

yachting in thailand

Ko Similan and Ko Surin

These are national parks 50 NM and 80 NM northwest of Phuket, respectively. You will find diving sites that are among the best in the world, uninhabited islands, secluded bays, and beautiful crystal-clear waters. If you are planning a vacation in search of solitude head in this direction. You’ll need to stock up in Phuket, as you will only find the local park manager’s depots and some very basic restaurants along the way.     

yachting in thailand

Ko Phi Phi comprises of two limestone islands belonging to the Krabi province. 

Ko Phi Phi Don, is the larger and inhabited island of the two. This island is shaped like a butterfly (in profile) and is basically two rock formations connected by a sandy beach. On the beach, you will find plenty of restaurants, hotels, diving schools, masseurs, and shops with everything imaginable. The streets are full of tourists, but free of cars and motorbikes. In the evening, bars and dance clubs open their doors in what has become a party-paradise. Some bars lure customers with loud music, others with Thai boxing, but alcohol flows freely everywhere, and discos on the beach usually don’t close until sunrise. 

Diving centres also advertise English-speaking instructors, so, if you like to dive, don’t hesitate to take this opportunity. There are a number of first-rate sites near Phi Phi but you should definitely consider heading south from the Phi Phi Islands to dive around the Bida Nai and Bida Noi cliffs, or the King Cruiser wreck. Everywhere you go, you will find an abundance of fish, coral, and with a little luck, even a whale shark! 

There are several bays around the island of Phi Phi Don that are suitable for anchoring. The main bay and harbour is Ton Sai Bay, approached from the southern side. There is a lot of traffic, but it quietens down at night, and you should be able to sleep peacefully. If you want to use one of the many buoys, you’ll first need to verify that that buoy is actually available. The northwest bay, Loh Dalam Bay is much more picturesque and peaceful in the daytime. Here, it is necessary to monitor the far-reaching cliffs that make it impossible to land during low tide, and in the evening, you’ll be mooring in front of all the discos. The last option is Loh Lana Bay in the north. In high season it is calm and most of the buoys are free because local boats are moored up in Ton Sai Bay. 

Ko Phi Phi Leh is the smaller, uninhabited island, but according to many travellers it is one of the most beautiful in the world. And this is no exaggeration. Mooring is in Maya Bay, which was made famous by the movie The Beach, starring Leonardo Di Caprio. During the day there are thousands of tourists, so it is necessary to arrive in the afternoon and spend the night. But it truly is one of the most wonderful places and a great spot for snorkelling and diving. 

yachting in thailand

Another pleasant island where time has stood still. Though Ko Lanta is also tourist oriented, compared to bustling Phuket, it is exactly the kind of tourism most visitors to Thailand dream about. You’ll find everything here, just on a somewhat smaller scale. The traffic is calm which makes the idea of renting a moped and riding around the island incredibly appealing. 

Anchoring is possible all along the western coast. The sea floor slopes away from the shore very gradually, and one beach follows another so all you need to do is choose. You’ll find the best mooring in the bay at Klong Dao Beach in the north and in Kantiang Bay in the south. 

yachting in thailand

Just a short distance south of Ko Lanta lie several smaller islands, which are unmissable. Koh Ngai, Koh Kradan, and Koh Muk, each more beautiful than the last. It is hard to say which beach is the most beautiful here and tourist guides casually mention the "exceptionally high number of beautiful beaches". With a sailboat though, you have a whole different kind of freedom to move where you want, and you’ll discover that most of the time you are anchoring in absolute solitude. On these islands, you can also find small resorts and restaurants. But excellent snorkelling is to be found everywhere. There are a number of easy diving spots around the islands of Koh Ngai, Koh Waen and Koh Kradan but the biggest attraction to the west of Ko Muk Island is the so-called "hong", which translates as something like a "hole in the island". There are other, similar places in Thailand, but this one is, by far and away, the most beautiful. This "hong" is reached through an inconspicuous, 80 m long cave, which you have to swim through. A sea kayak offers an advantage here, but a watertight flashlight is an absolute necessity! At the end of the cave is a white beach and a couple of trees. All enclosed by perpendicular cliffs that soar to a tremendous height. Long ago, some say, pirates buried their treasure there. 

yachting in thailand

The Koh Rok are two islands lying 10 NM west of Koh Kradan. Koh Rok Is one of Thailand's many national parks and with the exception of the ranger stations, are uninhabited. Over the day, boats crammed with day trippers (most of whom are divers) head there. But nowhere else will you find such clean waters or such amazing snorkelling and diving. Diving locations are virtually everywhere around the two islands. And again, the beaches are simply stunning. Mooring is between the islands on buoys but take care because not all buoys are in water that's deep enough for your boat. 

This is another island which offers a good place to rest on your way south. It has a few resorts and restaurants, and there is a great beach to the northeast. Directly in front of the beach are two buoys that are good for sailboats. During a strong northeastern monsoon, it is better to moor at the south of the island and take the dinghy to the southern bay with its charming native village. But beware because entering this bay in your sailboat is now prohibited. The water and buoys that are usually there are gone, and it is dry during low tide. 

Tarutao National Park

Tarutao National Park is in the south of Thailand, on the border with Malaysia and includes five main islands. The largest of these is Tarutao, and then there are the islands of Ko Adang, Ko Ravi, Ko Butang and Ko Lipe. There are several smaller islands in addition to this main group. The only tourist island is Ko Lipe. Ko Lipe is lively, and a lot of development has been going on there recently. All the beaches are already developed with hotels, and more and more motorbikes and tuk-tuks are buzzing around the island. Local tourism is almost comparable to Phi Phi Don - but that is where the similarity ends. The beaches on Ko Lipe and the surrounding islands will remind you more of the Similans, or perhaps the Seychelles. Maybe because huge oblong stones are strewn far and wide on the beautiful sandy-white beaches. In addition, you will find first-rate snorkelling and diving everywhere. That is, with the possible exception of the island of Tarutao. Tarutao is the island closest to the coast and the sea around it is shallow and full of plankton, so visibility is more limited. Generally speaking, in Thailand, the closer you are to the coast the cloudier the water gets. Tarutao is a beautiful, labyrinthine, mountainous island with long deserted beaches flanked by extensive mangroves. On the northwestern side of the island is the ranger station and a little further on, you will come upon a 300 m deep, pitch-black cave with many stalactites and stalagmites. You can head out to explore the island on your own or hire a local guide. Although Tarutao is a large island, it is practically deserted.

Guide to Thailand

From mythical beaches to pearlescent sands; experience the fabled Far East

Laced with mythical landscape beauty and a resplendent culture of colour, Thailand is drenched in golden rays of sun and unparalleled in beauty. Secluded coves, ivory beaches and cosmopolitan cities make up this enticing land where life is laden with a timeless serenity. Thailand is the ultimate destination to awaken the senses and nourish the soul.

Imbued with diverse landscapes, resplendent treasures and gleaming Buddhist temples, Thailand is a yachting destination unlike any other. Suffused with influences from Chinese and Indian cultures, a yacht charter to the remarkable Far East boasts mouth-watering cuisine, tranquil retreats and paradisiacal hideaways.

Although tourism has claimed a lot of mainland Thailand, there is still an abundance of beaches, secluded coves and islands to explore on a superyacht charter which remain untouched by many travellers. Most superyacht charters focus on the Andaman Sea in and around the island of Phuket though the Gulf of Thailand can also be explored which includes Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.

Bangkok The capital city of Bangkok is ripe for exploration with glittering palaces, magnificent temples and thriving night markets. This bustling city is home to an array of invigorating opportunities from rejuvenating day-spas to gastronomic delights of the highest calibre. Bangkok boasts the very best of vibrant modernity with cultural heritage making for a heady combination of bustling streets and a vibrant flamboyance.

Hua Hin Saturated in sugar white beaches, glittering azure waters and gentle ocean winds, Hua Hin is a serene and indulgent escape. This chic seaside getaway is brimmed with opportunities for activity with championship golf courses, world renowned spas, horseback riding on the beach and elegant boutique shopping. This idyllic location is steeped in glamour and laced with a cosmopolitan charm.

Koh Phi Phi This diving hotspot is a breathtaking destination of unmatched natural beauty. With teeming emerald waters thriving with marine life divers can explore the world beneath the waves whilst meandering around awe inspiring limestone cliff towers. The lustrous atmosphere welcomes eco-friendly travellers looking to immerse themselves into this glorious way of life.

Koh Samui Koh Samui is the third largest island in Thailand, inundated with white sand beaches framed by swaying palms, dazzling green seas and picture prefect landscapes. Reputed for the notorious Full Moon celebrations, Koh Samui is a nature enthusiast’s haven. With excellent spots for snorkelling and many secluded idylls, this enticing retreat is an enigmatic paradise.

Krabi Krabi is the perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts with water sports and mountain climbing aplenty. Radiated with a pulsing energy, the nightlife in Krabi is thriving with gorgeous beaches and astonishing cliff faces to be enjoyed during the day.

Phuket Deemed as the ‘undisputed pearl of Thailand’, Phuket is the perfect hedonist getaway. The largest and by far the most popular, Phuket is peppered with pristine beaches and lush jungle and is swathed in colour. Lapped by the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, this unspoiled paradise is steeped in alluring architecture and a unique colonial history. Indulgent and untouched, Phuket is a wonderland. South of Phuket lies hundreds of islands, many of which are uninhabited which are perfect for exploring on a yacht charter.

Yacht charter in Thailand

An amazing combination of pristine nature, modern pace of life and best traditions of Buddhism is the cornerstone that attracts sailors to this country from all around the world. If you dream about unforgettable yacht charter, it should be in top of your list.

Located right in the heart of Southeast Asia, this country is surrounded by the Andaman Sea on the west side of the Malay Peninsula, and the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea on the east side. Until  1939 it was called Siam, which means "freedom.” Bordered by Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar, Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia that has kept its independence through the years. As a result, the  traditional lifestyle that has been intact for centuries has been left  almost unchanged. Well known for peace and calmness, the Thai people will make your sailing vacation even more pleasant.

Geographically, Thailand can be divided into 5 distinct regions, but  the southern peninsula of Malay and the eastern part of the country are of the most interest to sailors.

Thailand is washed with two oceans – Pacific on the eastern part and Indian in the western part, Thus while sailing, you may expect moderate breeze, clean tropical waters, number of safe moorings  and anchorages. You definitely will not find here number of equipped  marinas or harbors, but on every mooring or anchorage you will easily find some cozy local restaurant, water supply or grocery store. While Thai cuisine and the hospitality of locals will definitely bring only positive vibes.

Gulf of Thailand boat rentals

Eastern part of country covers several provinces including Trat, Chantburi and Rayong. On the southwest, it reaches the Gulf of Thailand, and it borders Cambodia to the east. The rugged coastline is bordered  with rocky islands and covered with lush green forest. While sailing, you will see many rivers flowing south to create large mangrove forests, followed by pristine white sand beaches. The east coast is very popular for its resort areas, but few sailors know about  the more secluded yacht charter opportunities in Koh Chang.

Sailing in Koh Chang

The Koh Chang yacht charter base is located only 194 miles (312  km) from Bangkok and offers excellent access to the mostly untouched cruising grounds. Being the second largest island in the country (after Phuket), a Koh Chang sailing vacation is a perfect combination of emerald waters, white sand beaches and pristine jungle, waterfalls and stunning lush landscapes. Koh Chang means “elephant” in the Thai language. A fitting name for an island that is shaped like a giant sleeping elephant.

Phuket yacht charter

Phuket is the largest island in Thailand, and is located near the west coast in the Andaman Sea. The east coast of Phuket offers the finest cruising grounds, with easy access to 39 different islands. Discover towering pinnacles of limestone when sailing in the sheltered waters of Phang-nga Bay, set sails to see the famous Phi Phi located to the south of Andaman Sea, or the many beautiful locations in the province of Krabi. Make an offshore trip to one of the National Parks located in the Siliman, or Suring Islands, one of the most famous diving sites in the world.  

The kind and hospitable people will make your sailing vacation and boat rentals in Phuket even more pleasant and memorable.

Best time for yachting in Thailand is from November to April. During this period, the weather is not too hot and there is quite a  small amount of precipitation. However, tropical climate and no typhoons make sailing in this region comfortable and safe all year round.

But even though, we recommend to choose the right time for travel. Favorable  conditions for navigation along the eastern and western coasts are from November to April. If you are looking for some extreme sailing conditions, you may go to the west coast from May to October, during the monsoon season. From November to April the weather is ideal for sailing both on the west and east coast of Thailand. From May to October – is the season of the southwestern monsoon. At this time, it is better to avoid the western waters but there are dozens of different sailing itineraries from the main yacht charter base located on the island of Phuket.

Sailing tips

Phuket is gaining growing popularity among sailors of different levels. It offers great coastline, quite simple navigation and a large choice of sailing itineraries of different duration. So, all this makes Phuket the best starting point for bareboat yacht charter.

This place is so popular that on top of three comfortable yacht marinas, two more were opened in the recent years. One of  the main advantages of Phuket sailing area is that gives you miles of emptiness and relaxing solitude free from big cruising ships.

Sailing grounds

There are two main directions of routes for yachts charter vacation – eastern and western. To the east of Phuket is the Phang-Nga Bay, where the famous Panuk and Hong islands are located. Also, you should pay attention to the James Bond Island, Krabi and Riley Beach, famous among rock climbers. The western shore of the island of Phuket is washed by the waters of the Andaman Sea, which is part of the Indian Ocean. The Similan and Surin are located 100 km northwest of Phuket and included in the top ten places on the planet for scuba  diving. Even further to the northwest are the Andaman Islands, known for their pristine natural beauty, incredible fishing and diving.

During your travel along the bay, you should definitely admire the network of amazing grottoes, caves and tunnels of Koh Panak. Landing from a yacht and having moved to a kayak, you can admire the hidden lagoons and mangrove forests that are in the center of the island.

In this direction is also the island of Krabi, famous for its snow-white beaches and emerald jungles.

During your sailing vacation, it’s worth visiting Phi Phi, a part of the marine national park. Here you will find closed lagoons, calcareous cliffs of striking height and much more.

A smaller Phi Phi Leh, was formed by limestone rocks. In this regard, the water around the island has acquired a unique turquoise hue. Although it is considered to be uninhabited, you can still find lots of interesting things to explore. Famous Viking cave with a picture of an ancient man, numerous swallow nests collected by locals as they considered to be kind of a delicacy.

Koh Hong considered to be one of the most fabulous islands in Krabi area. Here you may take your time and relax contemplating white sand beaches, hidden lagoons with shallow waters beaming with exotic fish. While on the anchorage take a kayak, and explore nearby caves. Up in the sky you will see sea eagles gliding in circles searching for prey while looking down you will find emerald bottom decorated with numerous starfish.

Bareboat charter will give you a chance to visit Koh Pannyi – a sheer rock, with a small fishing village near it built on wooden and concrete piles. Here, among mazes of huts you will find small colorful craft market as well as some bars and restaurants offering variety of fresh sea food dishes from the catch of the day.

It is hard to believe, but there is only one policeman in charge of the island, and couple of years ago there was even no electricity. An  interesting landmark is a football field built by schoolchildren directly on the water. There are no hotels, but you can spend the night on your boat or catamaran on a safe anchorage nearby.

Your next sailing destination is Koh Poda, covered with lush palm trees and surrounded by white beaches. A few meters from the beach there is a coral reef: here you can go snorkeling and admire the diversity of the underwater world.

The other island nearby is Koh Kai – a rock that looks like head and neck of a chicken. Part of it consists of steep rocks, and the opposite shore has beautiful sandy beaches. During strong tides this peninsula is partially flooded.

Phang Nga Bay will amaze you with its unusual, almost mystical beauty. A distinctive feature of this place are steep rocks, protruding vertically from emerald green water. The bay has the status of a marine National park.

Thailand offers great opportunity to combine yacht charter with diving. A lot of coral reefs, as well as a variety of underwater terrain provide unlimited opportunities for diving. Here you have a unique opportunity to meet whale sharks. The best period for diving is November-May. Visibility in water can reach up to 50 meters. Similan Islands are the most popular among divers. Phuket Island in the Andaman Sea is famous for deep-sea fishing and trolling. So, do not forget to rent a fishing kit and you’ll  have a great chance to catch tuna, barracuda, sailfish, marlin and other exotic fish.

Thai Cuisine

Thai cuisine is largely determined by the climate and culture of the country. Tropical vegetation and the proximity of the sea caused widespread use of various fruits, spices and seafood.

Also, migration and contacts with other peoples affected the ways of cooking. For example, the homeland of Thai tribes is mountain settlements in the southeast of China (modern provinces of Guangxi and  Guizhou). Between the 6th and 13th centuries these peoples migrated to the southern lands, where today Laos and Burma are located. Naturally, all this affected culinary preferences. Local  cuisine is a mixture of Chinese and Indian cuisine. Culinary traditions of these countries have had the greatest impact on the formation of local gastronomic predilections.

There are no strict cooking rules in Thai cuisine and taste of any dish depends not only on the set of products and spices, but also on the  personal style of the chef. Very important for Thai cuisine is the balance between food, spices and side dishes. For example, fried chicken with chili is combined with a soup of bitter melon with pork.

Rice in Thai cuisine is the most important product, it’s like bread  in Europe. And if the other dishes are served warm or at room temperature, the rice should be hot enough for you to see a steam.

The second main product is noodles: thin rice (kuaytiao sen lek), thick and nourishing (kuaytiao sen yai), yellow egg (bamee).

Thais eat little, but often. When serving the table, they do not use knives (all products are cut into small pieces). Finish eating usually with fruits. A favorite drink of Thai people is cold water (naam yen).

The main principle of local cuisine is to achieve a balance of five tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and poignant. Various ingredients are used for this purpose.

The two most characteristic of these are curry-based sauce and coconut milk. All kinds of sauces are considered a delicacy, their use depends on the type of dish or meat type. The most famous are kaeng massaman (includes cinnamon, peanuts and nutmeg); kaeng kheow waan (sweet and very hot sauce with greens); kaeng karee (served  with potatoes).

An important nuance of the culinary traditions is the aesthetics of the dish. Making a filigree decor of vegetables and fruits (carving) has become a kind of art here.

All Thai dishes can be divided into four categories:  quick-and well – fried or steamed dishes, as well as soups; spicy dishes – salads or fried dishes with different amounts of spices, often with  the addition of coconut milk; salads – vegetable mixed with meat, the taste can be sweet, and sour but always spicy; cooked vegetables – usually sour, although you can meet them with a sweetish flavor.

Culture & traditions

In Thailand, you will find a wealth of nature perfectly combined with  ancient history, culture and traditions. There are hundreds of islands, beaches, coves and capes. While planning your sailing vacations  Thanks to tropical climate, beaches with  pristine white sand, crystal clear waters, excellent coral reefs and wonderful palm trees. Add to this the friendliness of the Thai people, their magnificent culture and wonderful cuisine. No wonder in recent years it became one of the most popular sailing destinations in Asia.

This country has a long history. And during your sailing trip it may open some of its secrets. Over the long years of existence, the inhabitants of this country honor not only the monarch  and the state charter, but also Buddhist norms. That is why in almost  every part of the country you will meet small churches and chapels with centuries of history. There are a few tens of thousands of them all over the country.

Local people call their home a “land of freedom”, because “thai” means freedom, and it’s not just a coincidence. It is the only country in South-East Asia that has preserved its independence from European states, while all neighboring countries were once colonies of Great Britain or France. This helped to keep its intact beauty and uniqueness.

The main sailing area for yachting is the Andaman Sea, but if you want to get more acquainted with the historical monuments of the  country, then the best choice will be the Gulf of Thailand.

Fans of nightlife should go to Bangkok and Pattaya. Discos, go-go bars, nightclubs every evening are filled with people looking for entertainment. Loud music, bright neon lights, noise and talk of passers-by create a specific atmosphere here.

An important part of Thai culture is traditional music. The Thais also attach great importance to the theater. Modern art (cinema, music)  is very popular too.

An integral part of the way of life of the Thai people is the elephant. In the past, these animals were used in battles, transportation of trees, and today elephants mostly entertain tourists. The image of an elephant can be found even on the Thai flag. Worth  visiting is the island of elephants Koh Chang.

While sailing do not forget to visit at least one the 80 national parks and 32 nature reserves. Khao Yai National Park is the most visited park in country. For those who like to watch birds, it’s  worth going to Doi Suthep National Park, Doi Inthanon, or to Khao Sam  Roi Yot Park in the south. There is the last preserved rain forest in the Khao Yai National Park, which is one of the best parks in the world.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Thailand

Embarking on a sailing adventure with Yachting.Rent in the stunning waters of Thailand presents a delightful dilemma – choosing between a sailing boat or a catamaran. Both offer unique experiences and the choice largely depends on your personal preference, group size, and sailing objectives.

Sailing boats are the embodiment of traditional seafaring. These vessels offer a deep connection to the sea, providing an authentic, tactile sailing experience. They are a perfect choice for those seeking the thrill of harnessing the wind and navigating the waves. Ideal for couples, small groups, or those with a penchant for a classic sailing experience, sailing boats offer a blend of adventure and intimacy.

Catamarans, on the other hand, are prized for their stability, speed, and ample space. Their twin-hull design reduces the boat’s tilt, ensuring a smoother ride that’s especially appreciated by those prone to seasickness. Catamarans offer expansive deck space, larger living areas, and private cabins, making them a popular choice for families or larger groups. Their shallow draft allows closer access to beaches and enables exploration of hidden coves and inlets.

Whether you opt for the charm and thrill of a sailing boat or the comfort and space of a catamaran, Yachting.Rent ensures your journey is exceptional. All our vessels are equipped with modern amenities and maintained to the highest standards. Our expert crew is always on hand to guide, assist, and ensure your sailing adventure in Thailand is safe, memorable, and filled with breathtaking experiences.

A Guide to Sailing in Thailand

Known for fusion cuisine and turqoise coastline, Thailand is home to many amazing sailing experiences around its islands

Thailand ’s yacht-charter scene sets sail from the county’s largest island: Phuket . Pinch yourself – because the topaz waters in the surrounding Phang Nga Bay stay warm all year round. The best news? Thailand has over 1,400 other islands scattered across miles and miles of ocean – and only a handful are inhabited. The rest are the domain of macaque monkeys and Andaman parakeets. Make one of them your home from home as you sail around Thailand and its many islands.

See other coastal charms around the world by booking one of Culture Trip’s multi-day sailing adventures .

What to See and Do in Thailand

Coral Island – a short sail south of Phuket – does what it says on the tin. Anchor offshore beyond the reef for snorkels with nudibranchs and lionfish. Seeking solitude? Coral Island hosts just one rather fancy resort – after day-trippers return to Phuket, the island’s three beaches are all yours.

Shop for far-out souvenirs in the warm night air at Phuket Old Town’s Chillva Night Market. The bazaar’s vibe is boho bling where you’ll find street eats, handmade jewellery, fried insects, silk textiles and cold beer, flogged from repurposed shipping containers.

The Best Mooring Locations in Thailand

Royal Phuket Marina is by far the hottest yachting hub in Thailand. The harbour hosts restaurants, co-working spaces and regular regattas – plus scores of yachts from single-day explorers to 35m (114ft)-long superyachts. It’s little wonder the marina holds the prestigious 5 Gold Anchor Award from the Yacht Harbour Association. Need a mooring? Call VHF channel 79 or book one of the 100 berths online. As Phuket is the yacht-charter capital of Thailand, you’ll find dozens of tiny marinas, restaurant tie-up docks and yacht-friendly islets nearby – such as Ao Po Grand Marina, which leads directly onto the northern islands of Phang Nga Bay and the safe anchorage of Ao Chalong on Phuket’s southern tip.

Where to Eat and Drink in Thailand

A plate of Pad Thai noodles with seafood and nuts on the table in Thailand

Phuket sits at the cultural crossroads of Thailand. The island has welcomed Chinese, Malay, Portuguese and French influences – with each group imparting their recipes, too. Dishes are generally laden with seafood, pork and Thai spices. These include gaeng som , a sour tamarind curry with fish paste and o-aew , a thirst-quenching jelly dessert containing watermelon and shaved ice. Among the most polished addresses is seafood at the Trisara Resort. Expect a Michelin-rated medley of market-fresh amberjack paired with fresh greens from the restaurant’s organic garden – all elevated into time-honoured “Thai Mama” recipes. Rawai seafood market isn’t for the faint-hearted, however – point-and-order at thousands of bubbling aquarium tanks containing giant clams and tiger prawns. An adjoining restaurant will fry up your seafood purchase.

Where to Get Groceries in Thailand

Villa Market near Royal Phuket Marina is where yachties shop for at-sea essentials and cocktail treats. Every international bite – from Bertolli olive oil to Alpen muesli – is readily available from 9am to 9pm.

Key Annual Sailing Events in Thailand

The King’s Cup Regatta – which takes place in Phuket each December – is the most prestigious in all of South East Asia. Count on up to 100 big boats competing in a week of fast sailing around the southerly islands of Phuket. These include Koh Lon – a secluded beachy gem where swings dangle from coconut trees.

Climate and Weather in Thailand

Gentle tides, warm winds and a sandy seabed render Phuket as Thailand’s year-round cruising destination – where the dry season from November to April is best for novice sailors. Northeasterly winds promise dry spells and gentle breezes, although sunny days become scorching by April. More serious sailors select the wetter season from May to October. Southwesterly monsoons usher up to Force 6 winds, with rainy squalls followed by intense heat. That said, there’s always safe sailing in Phang Nga Bay down to the Phi Phi Islands.

How to Get to Thailand

Phuket airport is the intercontinental hub for the yacht charter scene in Thailand – with direct flights from Melbourne, Moscow, Manchester and Mumbai. The airport approach highlights the allure as jets descend over an aquamarine sea, then land just past the golden sands of Mai Khao Beach. Marina and yacht charter options are within an easy 20-30 minute drive away.

Sailing in Thailand

Sailing in Thailand

Thailand, often dubbed as the "Land of Smiles," is increasingly gaining popularity among sailing enthusiasts around the globe. Known for its hospitable locals, stunning landscapes, and glittering turquoise waters, this Southeast Asian gem is indeed a yachting haven.

An Ideal Sailing Destination

Thailand's geographical position is one of its major attractions. Nestled between the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, it offers some of the world's most diverse sailing destinations. This tropical paradise boasts over 3000 km of coastline dotted with unspoiled islands, secluded bays, and bustling marinas.

Sailing in Thailand

Thailand's primary sailing area is the Andaman Sea, a location that came to prominence in the early 90s. Initially drawing film crews for the James Bond movie "The Man with the Golden Gun" due to its awe-inspiring vistas, the sailors among the crew quickly recognized the Andaman Sea's allure. It presented the perfect balance of sailing conditions every yachtsman dreams of: steady, moderate winds, straightforward navigation, ample safe yacht anchorages, transparent waters, a variety of engaging sailing routes, abundant marine life, and striking landscapes with island-mountains and exotic tropical forests.

Off the northeast coast of Phuket, the start and end point of many chartered yacht trips, lie the Similan Islands, studded in crystal-clear waters. Here, divers can spend a week submerged in the enchanting world of coral gardens, making these islands one of the world's top diving destinations. Just a few hours' sail from Phuket, the uninhabited Phi Phi Le Island is home to sea gypsies who gather bird's nest soup ingredients from the island's caves and cliffs.

A short sail from Phi Phi Le brings you to Phi Phi Don Island, known for its tranquil lagoons, coconut palm forests, and inviting beach bungalows. Nearby, the time-honored Kaswa Islands remain home to a local community whose lifestyle has remained undisturbed by the modern era, offering a glimpse into an untouched tropical forest setting. The popular King's Cup Regatta sees hundreds of international yachtsmen flocking to the region every December.

Navigating Thailand's Waters

While Thailand's waters are generally calm, sailing conditions can vary based on location and time of year. From November to April, known as the dry season, north-easterly monsoons bring consistent winds ideal for sailing. However, during the wet season from May to October, the south-westerly monsoons often result in turbulent waters, particularly in the Andaman Sea. Despite the seasonal variations, Thailand is suitable for sailors of all skill levels due to its predictable weather patterns and the multitude of safe anchorages.

The Gulf of Thailand, relatively sheltered compared to the Andaman Sea, is perfect for leisurely cruises with less extreme tidal variations. However, sailors should remain cautious about local currents which can be stronger in some parts.

Yacht Chartering in Thailand

In Thailand you can easily rent a yacht. Yacht chartering is prevalent in Thailand, offering diverse options from luxury superyachts to catamarans and traditional Thai long-tail boats. The chartering companies typically require an internationally recognized sailing license and prior sailing experience from the skipper. However, services also include hiring professional skippers for those who wish to sit back and enjoy the voyage.

Getting to Thailand for Yachting

Thailand is one of the world's premier sailing destinations, thanks to its stunning natural beauty, year-round warm weather, and top-notch marina facilities. Here's how you can get there:

By Air : The most convenient way to reach Thailand is by air. The country's main international airport is Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) in Bangkok, which serves numerous international and domestic flights daily. Other significant international airports include Phuket International Airport (HKT) and Krabi International Airport (KBV) , both of which are popular gateways to Thailand's yachting scene.

From the airport, you can take a domestic flight or ground transportation (such as a taxi, private transfer, or bus) to reach the marina where your yacht is berthed.

By Road : If you're already in Southeast Asia, you might opt to travel to Thailand by road from neighboring countries like Cambodia, Laos, or Malaysia. Be aware that international road travel requires the appropriate visas and documentation.

By Sea : For sailors, arriving in Thailand by sea is a thrilling option. The country's marinas, including those in Phuket, Pattaya, and Krabi, are well-equipped to welcome international yachts. Be sure to familiarize yourself with Thailand's maritime customs regulations before setting sail.

Once in Thailand, you can charter a yacht if you don't own one. Several charter companies offer a range of yachts for hire, from small sailing boats to luxury superyachts.

No matter how you choose to arrive, Thailand's azure waters and stunning seascapes promise an unforgettable yachting experience.

Phuket, often the first choice for sailors, is the gateway to the Andaman Sea's idyllic islands like the Phi Phi Islands and the Similan Islands. In the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui and the neighboring Ang Thong National Marine Park offer picturesque views and calm sailing conditions. The historic city of Pattaya, known for its vibrant nightlife, is another excellent base for exploring the Gulf's hidden gems.

Thailand's unique geography, blessed with a myriad of beautiful islands and stunning coastlines, provides a multitude of sailing opportunities. Here are the top sailing spots in the country:

1. Phuket: Thailand's biggest island and a renowned sailing hotspot, Phuket offers diverse sailing experiences. The area is known for its scenic anchorages, vibrant marine life, and proximity to numerous other enchanting islands such as Phi Phi and Similan.

2. Krabi: Famous for its dramatic limestone cliffs and clear waters, Krabi is another wonderful sailing destination. Sailors can explore the bay of Railay, renowned for its stunning beaches, or venture further to the Phi Phi Islands.

3. Koh Samui: Located in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui is surrounded by more than 60 other islands, providing ample opportunity for exploration. The archipelago includes the Angthong Marine National Park, a pristine group of islands that's perfect for sailing and snorkeling.

4. Pattaya: Easily accessible from Bangkok, Pattaya boasts a well-equipped marina and is a great base for sailing trips to the serene islands of Ko Larn, Ko Krok, and Ko Phai.

5. Koh Chang: The second-largest island in Thailand, Koh Chang is less crowded than other sailing spots and offers tranquil beaches, lush forests, and a stunning marine park, perfect for yachting enthusiasts who prefer quieter sailing experiences.

These fantastic destinations promise a variety of adventures for every sailor, from peaceful cruises to thrilling blue water sailing. Always remember to check the local weather conditions and maritime rules before setting sail to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey.
