THAILAND
With its dramatic coastlines, uninhabited islands and sites of pure tranquility, Thailand isn’t known as the land of smiles without good reason. Home to excellent diving, wonderful food and a perfect winter climate, the abundance of white sandy beaches and picturesque palm trees make for stunning cruising grounds ideal for exploring from the comfort of a superyacht. Whether you’re a busy professional or a keen sailor in search of an unforgettable vacation, the largest island, Phuket, is gaining popularity as a yachting hot spot and it’s from here that you will start your adventure. The hundreds of islands surrounding Phuket have been the stars of countless Hollywood movies – be sure to stop off at Phi Phi Leh which is most famous for its role in Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie The Beach – and they all promise diverse landscapes, beautiful coastal scenery and authentic cultural experiences. 78
