An increasing number of visiting yachts enjoy the waters and beaches around the southern Thai island of Phuket.
Finding paradise amid the stunning archipelago of Thailand becomes a reality many times over for yachts setting forth on an adventurous journey around what, like a few other places in Asia, is sometimes dubbed a ‘Pearl of the Orient’ island: Phuket.
The island is currently recognised worldwide as a major destination for superyachts, used as a base for the vicinity’s yachting season (November to April) and as a springboard to waterways throughout Thailand.
