  • Sailing in the Gulf of Thailand: Koh Samui, Koh Phangan & Koh Tao
    The Samui archipelago—centred on Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao—offers compact passages, reef-fringed anchorages and a genuine sense of island-hopping adventure. Conditions vary markedly with the monsoon, so success hinges on understanding when each coastline comes into its own. Expect mostly line-of-sight navigation by day, abundant snorkelling in clear water, and nights at anchor rather than in marinas. This guide sets out realistic itineraries, seasonal wind behaviour, where to anchor in each phase of the year, and what you need to know to charter safely and confidently.

  • Sailing Thailand’s Andaman Sea: Phuket & the Similans
    Thailand’s Andaman coast delivers a rare blend of easy line-of-sight cruising, dependable winter trade winds and showpiece anchorages under sheer limestone towers. From the marina hub of Phuket, sailors can fan out into the glassy labyrinth of Phang Nga Bay, push south to the Phi Phi islands and Krabi’s sculpted headlands, or make a bluewater hop northwest to the Similan Islands when the national park opens. Waters are warm year-round, passages are short for most routes, and support ashore is unusually strong for Southeast Asia. This guide sets out the sailing areas, seasonal winds, where to berth and anchor, and how to charter (and what paperwork you’ll need) so you can plan with confidence.
