Thailand has over 1,000 miles of mainland coastline bordering the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. With thousands of islands, there are many more miles of beaches, creeks and headlands meeting the sea. Lying between 5° and 13° north, the climate is tropical and the beaches are palm fringed, with pristine white sand, crystal waters and superb coral reefs.

Add to that the renowned friendliness of the Thai People, their magnificent cuisine and culture and Thailand has deservedly become Asia’s premier cruising destination.

Neither coastline is in a hazardous weather zone; there are no typhoons and even the seasonal monsoons are gentle.

Temperatures are 25°-32°C, and the sea rarely varies from 28°. Comfortable cruising is possible all year round, even on the Andaman Sea coast, with its strong southwest monsoon breezes.

Thai waters have long been an essential stopover for world cruisers; many never leave.
