Thailand Cruising Itinerary
A Phuket cruising itinerary presents myriad opportunities to savour the varied delights of Thailand’s shimmering emerald-coloured waters, towering limestone pinnacles, scenic anchorages, pristine beaches, traditional fishing villages, chic resorts, and some of the best snorkelling and scuba diving in the world. The passages can be confined to the sheltered waters off the east coast of Phuket or you can venture further into the Andaman Sea to the picturesque Phi Phi Islands (see Phuket maps). The west coast of Phuket, with its stunningly beautiful beaches and waterfront resorts as well as the offshore islands in the Similan and Surin groups, is an option during the north-east monsoon, which offers dry, sunny, and relatively cool tropical weather ideal for Phuket yacht charters.
