Sailing

The calm waters make Thailand an excellent place to have your first sailing experience whether it is "having a go" dingy sailing, a day charter on a larger boat or a whole week living aboard.

Pattaya

Day, weekend and longer sailing charters are available through various agencies. Rates average at around Baht 1,500 per person per day and day trips consist of visits to nearby islands such as Koh Rin, Koh Phai, Koh Sichang and Koh Larn. Longer charters to Koh Samet and across the gulf to Hua Hin, Koh Samui and the Similian Islands are also popular.

For smaller boats, the most popular rentals are Lasers, Prindles and Hobie Cats and sailing can be enjoyed year-round.

For sailing lessons, contact the Royal Varuna Yacht Club at Tel: (038)251-115. The Yacht club has weekly races. Alternatively, try the school on the Huay Saak Nok Reservoir. To get there, turn left into the lane at KM 150 on the Sukhumvit Road, next to the Green Way Golf Driving Range, and drive for about 4 kilometers.
