Thailand

Gulf of Thailand

The alternative season: flat water and warm evenings when the Andaman turns.

The cruising ground

When the south-west monsoon arrives, the Gulf comes into its own. Koh Samui, Koh Tao and the Ang Thong marine park offer short passages, calm anchorages and a slower rhythm — ideal for family cruising and for owners keeping a yacht in Thailand year round.

Highlights

Ang Thong Marine Park

Forty-two islands, a hidden lagoon and quiet overnight anchorages.

Koh Tao

Clear water and the Gulf's best diving in a compact area.

Koh Samui

Provisioning, guest changeovers and dinner ashore.

Koh Kood

The Gulf's quietest corner, near the Cambodian border.

Practical notes

  • Short hops between islands suit shorter charters and guests with limited sea time.
  • Ocean Marina near Pattaya provides berthing and services at the northern end of the Gulf.
  • Passages between the Gulf and Andaman coast run via Singapore and the Malacca Strait.
