Thailand ~ Sailing ทะเลอันดามัน (Andaman Sea)

Off we go sailing. Leaving Phuket behind.
First briefing on the yacht.
That’s the beauty called „Cataleya“

Sleep. Swim. Breakfast. Nap. Swim. Sail. Lunch. Chill. Snorkel. Kayak. Nap. Swim. Dinner. Repeat for 7 days. So wonderful.

Beautiful Thailand. We are back on the Andaman Sea. We hopped on a sailing boat in Thailand and lived on paradise time: waking up every morning anchored in a beautiful bay, having a dip in the ocean and then set sail for our next spot. Snorkeling. Watching brightly colored fish swim by, and us in the middle of it. Panorama underwater world. Swimming. Kayaking. Shimmering turquoise water.

Faraway from anything.

Pure happiness.

Itinerary for one day 🌸
That view 🌊
Turquoise sea water
A little rain shower – quite refreshing at 30C degrees

Star watching at The Beach. Walking on the finest white sand beaches. Watching the boat traffic and the people.

Chill out on deck. Wind in the hair. Sun and salt on our skins. Sailing by craggy limestone peaks. Clear water. Treated to some spectacular views you can only reach by boat or kayak.

Kayaking to the most amazing spots
Fishing

Some days we went on-shore and enjoyed coconut ice-cream, banana shakes, pina coladas, mango sticky rice, Thai lab, foot & head massage. So good. So fresh. So exotic. So relaxing.

Dinghy’s can be dangerous: some people fall into the sea after they had a nice shower and put clean clothes on for a night out…

Longtail boats
Pineapple rice

Pina Coladas. O lala.
Seafood choices
The gang
More Pina Coladas 🥥

Sailing from coral island for snorkeling to coconut island…

Is there anything more relaxing than sleeping out beneath the stars, rocked by the gentle pitch of a yacht? (We had some windy & shaky nights, too…)

Feasting on delicious food prepared by our onboard chef „Ice“, whipping up Thai favourites daily: Thai curries, banana bread, fresh fish, mango ice cream, laab, Pas Tai, fresh exotic fruits…. OMG. Soooo good! She spoilt us. Can we please take her with us?

When the „bell of joy“ is ringing means nothing else than another amazing Thai lunch is ready for us (and breakfasts and dinners)!
Our kitchen dream team – where all the magic happens

The hardest decision we had to make: whether to swim with the tropical fish or kayak around the gorgeous spots.

Bright blue waters full of diverse marine life, the perfect spot for snorkelling.
Kayaking
Discovered this beautiful spot after going through a cave.

We spent the evenings slumped in a bean bag surrounded by turquoise blue water to watch the sun dip beneath the waves.

One of many gorgeous sunsets
So peaceful

Sleeping on deck under the stars and waking up to this:

Sunrise at 6am

Chilling out on deck with a good book and a bowl of fresh fruit.

Fresh mango, papaya & dragon fruit

We love the colors of Thailand: blue sky, white sand beaches, turquoise sea, yellow mangos, white coconuts.

Good morning 🐠 🌞

My favorite of each day: chilling in a bean bag after a good swim and watching the sun go down followed by an amazing clear sky with stars & shooting stars wishing for a never ending holiday.

A last swim & snorkel before a bumpy sail brought us back to Phuket. Our Andaman seafaring odyssey comes to an end. It was amazing.

So much fun! Thank y‘all!
Back on land
Ciao 👋
