Maithon Island (8am-1pm)

The ocean here has more mood lighting than a rooftop bar, especially when you set sail on the luxurious Blue Swing. This sleek Lagoon 44ft catamaran can accommodate up to 25 guests for a delightful half-day trip to Koh Mai Thon, affectionately known as Maiton (Honeymoon Island). The dry season from November to April is prime time for sailing, but don’t underestimate the charm of brief tropical showers during the monsoon. They’re like a warm, refreshing hug from Mother Nature, and they come with fewer crowds at the most popular spots.

Jump into the azure waters for some snorkeling or explore hidden lagoons that are like nature’s secret swimming pools. The bonus in Thailand is that these treasures are still accessible year-round. Trust me, your camera will thank you for capturing the stunning coastline and those Instagram-worthy moments that will make your friends jealous. Just remember, what really helps in Thai conditions is a laid-back attitude and a good hat to shield you from that tropical sun.

Sailing around Thai islands can feel like cheating on every other beach you’ve visited. With the Blue Swing, you’re not just cruising; you’re creating unforgettable memories. Makes for a fantastic Thai island experience!
