Unchartered waters - Exploring the treasures of Thailand

What awaits you on a Thailand yacht charter? Find out why Thailand makes for a truly unique and unforgettable charter experience.

Sometimes, there is nothing better than veering off the beaten track. Whilst the golden coastlines, white sand beaches and mouth-watering cuisines of the Mediterranean have a timeless allure, there is nothing wrong with craving something new and unique every now and again.

If it’s adventure you seek, there are various exciting destinations that await you, from the breathtaking natural beauty of the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao), to the azure waters and tropical marine life of the Whitsunday Islands, Australia – looking beyond tourist hotspots to find seclusion, culture and untouched scenery is one of the many advantages of a unique yacht charter.

But combining gastronomic delights, unparalleled natural beauty and exotic marine life – a Thailand yacht charter may be exactly what you need to satiate your thirst for adventure.

AWAKEN YOUR SENSES WITH A YACHT CHARTER IN THAILAND

Thailand is one of the hidden gems of the yachting world, boasting stunning scenery, colourful culture, luscious jungles and authentic cuisine – all of which make for a truly unique, unforgettable charter experience. Although travel to this tropical destination has been somewhat restricted in recent years, Thailand has eased COVID travel requirements, meaning you’re free to explore the incomparable beauty that this country has to offer.

So what awaits you on a Thailand yacht charter?

1 Picture-perfect beaches

Powdery sands, sparkling turquoise waters and coral reefs inundated with marine life – the beaches on Thailand’s coastline and islands are unparalleled. Towering pinnacles of limestone off the sheltered waters of Phang Nga Bay are unlike anything you will have seen before, and the secluded coves of the islands just off Phuket are like your own paradise.

2 Snorkelling and scuba diving

For those with an eagerness to explore, the crystal clear waters and abundance of marine life that a Thailand yacht charter has to offer make for the perfect snorkelling spots, allowing you to immerse yourself in the underwater scenery.

3 Visit ancient temples and royal palaces

Steeped in history and culture, Thailand offers a whole host of grand ruins, ornate temples and jaw-dropping palaces to explore. Visit the Big Buddha temple in Phuket, or why not venture out to Krabi (an island next door to Phuket) to climb the 1,237 steps up to the Tiger Cave Temple.

4 Explore James Bond Island

For any James Bond fans, a trip to Khao Phing Kan is a must on your Thailand yacht charter. Having featured in the 1974 James Bond movie ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’, this island quickly rose to fame for its natural beauty. Located in the Phang Nga Bay, its most notable attraction is the 20-foot, top-heavy rock that juts out of the water’s surface – a striking spectacle and a must-see for charterers in the area.

5 Try new, exotic cuisines

The food in Thailand is renowned for its authentic Asian influences, fresh produce and diverse flavours, making it a culinary haven for gastronomes. From spicy street food to exotic fruit markets and luxury Thai cuisine – there is plenty to discover when it comes to food in Thailand.

Getting the most out of your charter in Thailand

Swathed in culture, cuisine and natural beauty, Thailand is an unspoiled haven for yacht charterers, just far enough away from the bustle of tourism without being totally stripped from familiarity and comfort.

But to get the most out of your travels in such a unique setting, you need a yacht that can offer the utmost luxury. NORTHERN SUN offers that and more.

With an impressive master cabin, three doubles and two twin cabins – this sizable 50m vessel holds accommodation for 12 guests, with ample space to unwind after a busy day exploring the many wonders that Thailand has to offer.

Her interior perfectly complements a charter around South East Asia, with tropical woods such as teak, makore and narra featuring throughout – so that even when you retreat to the yacht for a relaxed evening, the very essence of Thailand surrounds your senses.
