Thailand – Great For a Sailing Vacation

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Located at the center of Southeast Asia is the Kingdom of Thailand. Because of its strategic location, it becomes a gateway for visitors who are seeking unexplored but safe routes to different countries such as Southern China, Indochina, and Myanmar. The country, moreover, is divided into separate geographical regions. The North is mainly composed of mountains and forests while rice fields dominate the Central Plains. Plateaus on the North with semi-arid lands are good for simple farming. The Southern part of the peninsula, with its long coastal lines and tropical islands, is great for sailing.

Sailing in Thailand in your yacht will not be complete without taking a trip to the Similan Island. It is located 55 miles northwest of Phuket. There are nine islands and small islets that make up this archipelago. Besides sailing, you can enjoy Thailand underwater marine life through snorkeling or diving. You can also experience the marvelous irregular formations of the boulders. Surin Islands, meanwhile, is sacred with lush virgin rain forests and deserted beaches, which are ideal for those who seek privacy while they are in the yacht or chartered catamaran. The Ko Phra Thong is an ultimate holiday paradise because of its unspoiled beauty and great beaches. The island also holds a very big reservoir of fresh water.
