Likewise, movies such as Leonardo DiCaprio’s “The Beach” have further immortalised the many scenic Kohs of Thailand and Phuket’s surrounding waters.

It’s no surprise that there are now an abundance of marinas on Phuket. Many yachts have sailed these waters intending to pass though but have simply stayed and their skippers have simply based their yachts in the new marinas. When you’ve reached paradise there seems little point on seeking new horizons.
