Cruises in Thailand

Cruise options in Thailand run from dinner boats on the Chao Phraya to island-hopping in the Andaman Sea. In Bangkok, two-hour evening cruises with live music glide past the illuminated Wat Arun and the Grand Palace, while hour-long longtail rides thread through the Thonburi canals past stilt houses and neighbourhood temples.

In the south, speedboats from Phuket reach the Khai islets for half a day of snorkelling; from Phi Phi, longtail boats head out to Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon, with sunrise and sunset departures that dodge the daytime crowds. Krabi offers the classic four-island route with its sandbank plus Hong Island swims, and from Koh Samui full-day boats sail to Ang Thong National Marine Park, an archipelago of 42 islands with viewpoints and an inner lagoon. A private sunset longtail off Phi Phi runs four hours, while the full-day Maya and Pileh circuit stretches to nine.
