Local Tourism Muang The Land Of Smiles Is Waiting For You

By Paulette Hart


Thailand has successfully attracted millions of tourists each year for many decades. Travelers of all types have fallen under the spell of its exotic culture and stunning locations. Recently, local tourism Muang Thailand has been quietly developing infrastructure to attract a growing number for sailors and world cruising yachts.

Blue ocean yacht cruisers are flocking to the alluring coastal waters that flank the beautiful shores of the Kingdom of Thailand, the land of smiles. World class marina facilities have been critical in spawning this trend. Recently established facilities in the magnificent Phang Nga Bay on Phuket island are a leading example.

Phuket island is widely recognized as the natural base for sailors wanting to explore the Andaman Sea. The Andaman has some of the best sailing grounds to be found anywhere on the globe. Crystal clear waters, hundreds of interesting limestone isles, stunning white sand beaches and a warm winter climate are just a few of its many attractions. Thousands of yachts visit the area each year.

The new marinas are truly of international standard. Some offer hundreds of berths, some large enough to accommodate super or mega-yachts. The facilities typically include deep water entrances that allow 24-hour access without tide restrictions; extra wide berth and pontoon walkways; shore power and water supply; tight security (including TV monitors); free Wi-Fi Internet; state-of-the-art firefighting equipment; black water pump-out facilities; and haul out plus hard stand spaces.

Onshore marinas usually also provide hotel-style accommodations; full service laundry and bathrooms; recreation and marine chart rooms; cafeterias and fine dining restaurants; chandeliers and skilled shipwrights; marine electricians; fueling docks; garbage collection; and car parking.

In short, apart from its unique attractions on land, local tourism muang thailand operators are now promoting yachting and sailing holidays. Vacationers now have even more options to enjoy. Those seeking to enjoy these opportunities might find the guide titled Andaman Sea Pilot, coauthored by Andy Dowden together with Bill O'Leary useful reading.
