The party has started in\u00a0Phuket<\/a>!<\/strong>\u00a0High season in Phuket, Thailand, officially started last week with a colourful parade and fireworks display in the main party town on the island, Patong Beach.<\/p>\n

The monsoon winds are the dominant weather pattern in Southeast Asia<\/a>;<\/strong>\u00a0in September\/October, the winds change to become northeasterlies. This brings more continuous dry and sunny weather from November to early May each year, leading to some fantastic sailing conditions and scenery\u2026 and the start of the high season!<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Schionning Power Catamaran<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is ideal if you want to take in the amazing rock formations of Phang Nga Bay.<\/p>\n

Or\u00a0how about sailing in the sunny blue skies just south of Phuket on board the\u00a0Gulet 98<\/a><\/strong>, if you are looking for a more ‘classical’ sailing experience?<\/p>\n

\"Gulet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

East of Phuket, Phang Nga Bay offers all year round sailing, but the areas west and north of Phuket, the Similans and Myanmar, are now open for business! The Similans<\/a><\/strong> offer probably the best scuba diving in Thailand, with Richelieu Rock consistently voted one of the world’s top dive sites.<\/p>\n

Myanmar<\/a><\/strong>, remains one of the last frontier sailing destinations,\u00a0because of its remoteness, and the limited number of yachts with Myanmar sailing permits. You really can sail for a couple of weeks without seeing another yacht!<\/p>\n

To start your charter in Myanmar, you can still fly into Phuket and take a 4 hour minibus ride to the Thai-Myanmar border, or there are flights to the border from Bangkok. You can even start and\/or finish your Myanmar charter by boarding your yacht in Phuket, and stopping off at the Similans on the way north to the Mergui Archipelago of Myanmar.\u00a0We would recommend the\u00a0sailing yacht ASIA<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for your adventure around the Myanmar archipelago.<\/p>\n
