The Gulf of Thailand offers an alternative to the Andaman Sea. The islands on the coast towards the Cambodian border are less in the hands of tourism than those on the west side around Phuket. So if you like it quieter and more natural but no less exotic, start from our base in Koh Chang, Thailand's second largest island.

Yacht charter Koh Chang
If you would rather explore the Gulf of Thailand, you can start your yacht charter in Koh Chang, an island southeast of Bangkok and close to the Cambodian border. Elephant Island is no less exotic than its counterparts in the Andaman Sea. It offers gorgeous palm-fringed sandy beaches on the west side and more natural coastline with small bays to linger in on the east side. The interior is covered with rainforest and hiking trips are recommended. Around the island are coral reefs and there are also shipwrecks to discover, so ideal for divers and snorkelers. You can get to Koh Chang via Bangkok. If you have some time, you should not miss a visit to the city and its temples. Besides Koh Chang, you can discover 40 other islands, such as Koh Maak and Koh Kood. If you like it less touristy and more natural, this is the right place. Many of the islands belong to the Mu Koh Chang National Park.
