Through the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, aboard a catamaran.
The catamaran lies at anchor in Phang Nga Bay, and all around the limestone towers rise sheer out of the still water, green with growth, veiled in the morning haze. A kayak slips through a low gap in the rock into a hidden lagoon, where the only sound is the drip of water from the walls. So a day begins in the Andaman Sea, slowly and quite on its own.
Thailand offers the catamaran two cruising grounds, and they share the year between them. On the west coast lies the Andaman Sea, with the famous limestone towers of Phang Nga Bay, with Phi Phi and the beaches around Krabi; its season runs from November to April. On the east coast, in the Gulf of Thailand, lie Koh Samui and the island park of Ang Thong, and here the sailing is best from May to September, when the other coast turns to rain. So a calm cruising ground can be found almost all year round.
Along the way you sail in small company aboard a Lagoon 620, roomy and seaworthy, with a crew who know their way among the limestone cliffs and islands. Those who wish to explore more of South East Asia can sail with us through the Indonesian island world of Bali too, from Benoa by way of Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida to Lombok. Voyages run from seven to ten nights.
