Luxury Yacht Charter Thailand
Yacht Charter in Thailand
The Asia-Pacific region is emerging as the next exciting superyacht destination, and promises to deliver everything – and more – for the very best in luxury super yacht charters. Thailand covers some of the most stunning sailing ground in the world. The region is scattered with collections of tropical islands dotted in the emerald blue waters off the mainland, their beaches white and deserted. There is also the rich cultural heritage of Thailand to consider and a yacht charter here will be a feast on all the senses.
Marinas in Thailand
There are currently three marinas in Thailand offering facilities for super yachts, with a fourth, being built near Krabi, to be completed next year.

Weather in Thailand
Temperatures in southern Thailand and the islands tends to be a lot cooler than the north of the country, with a continuous sea breeze to give welcome respite. The best time to visit is between November and February, as rain can fall heavily at other times of the year. Temperatures during high season range between 24C and 32C.
