Let us begin with the country known as “The Land of Smiles.” There is no better spot to experience life on a yacht than Thailand. This country has become quite a destination for sailing. It has beautiful scenery of calm water from here and there. 

Some of the best yachting locations in Thailand are as follows:

In addition, Phuket has breathtaking white sand beaches, sheer limestone cliffs, coral islands, and forested inlets, making the sailing package perfect for new and old travellers!

Whether you and your group are in for thrilling adventures, beach swimming and island hopping, and snorkelling, a cruise to Phuket islands is the ideal locale for all these activities. Also, you may choose either luxury motor boats or sailing yachts to enjoy what the Phuket islands offer.
