Thailand Flotilla

Our newest addition to the Seafarer flotilla portfolio is another exclusive flotilla option for those that yearn to explore beyond the Mediterranean whilst still getting the support that all Seafarer flotillas receive. Explore the best of Phang Nga Bay, visiting Ko Khao Phing Kan, the island made famous by the James Bond film “The man with the golden gun”. Sailing further south sees us visit other much photographed and filmed locations, so for movie buffs, there are some great sights to be seen, including the Phi Phi islands, the iconic image from the film “The Beach”, as well as Koh Lanta and Koh Pu, with their spectacular beaches.

Thailand has so much to offer, and its warm and friendly people are keen for us to experience the culture and cuisine of this beautiful part of Asia. Sailing here is tidal – a great opportunity to brush up on some skills that may be lying dormant in your locker!

Phuket, Thailand’s crown jewel island, entices beach lovers with its stunning coastlines. Clear turquoise waters lap at soft sand, inviting exploration through diving, snorkeling, or jet skiing adventures. Beyond the vibrant nightlife and delicious local cuisine, Phuket offers a glimpse into Thailand’s rich history through its many historical sites.

Phang Nga Bay, also known as Ao Phang Nga National Park, is a 400 square kilometer wonderland where towering limestone karst formations rise dramatically from the emerald green water. Imagine a landscape painted by a surrealist artist – sheer cliffs jut from the sea, some adorned with a fringe of emerald jungle clinging precariously to their slopes. Dotting the bay are over 40 islands, some mere pinnacles of rock, others larger and boasting hidden lagoons, beaches, and even caves. One of the most famous is Khao Phing Kan, better known as James Bond Island, after its starring role in the movie The Man with the Golden Gun. Exploring these hidden coves and lagoons reveals a secret world, teeming with life. Look out for playful monkeys swinging through the trees lining the cliffs, or bioluminescent plankton illuminating the water at night with an ethereal glow. Phang Nga Bay is a captivating journey into a landscape that feels untouched by time, a true gem waiting to be explored.
