Best Watersports In Thailand

James Bond Island is the nickname for Khao Phing Kan, a pair of limestone islands in Phang Nga Bay, about 40 km northeast of Phuket in southern Thailand. It picked up the name after the 1974 film The Man with the Golden Gun, in which the slim rock stack offshore, Ko Tapu, was the villain Scaramanga's hideout. You can reach ...

Planning to see Maya Bay in Phuket right now? Read this first: the beach is closed from 1 August to 30 September 2026 and reopens on 1 October. Maya Bay is not actually in Phuket. It sits on Koh Phi Phi Leh in Krabi province, and almost everyone reaches it as a day trip by speedboat from Phuket, about 45 km and 45 to 60 min...

Phang Nga Bay is the sheltered, limestone-studded bay northeast of Phuket, best known for James Bond Island, the Koh Panyee stilt village and sea-cave kayaking through hidden lagoons called hongs. Most people see it on a one-day boat tour from Phuket, roughly 1,500 to 4,000 THB per person, November to April.

Ao Nang Beach is the main beach town on Krabi's Andaman coast and the launch point for almost every island trip in the area. It sits about 26 km from Krabi International Airport, roughly a 40-minute drive, which makes it the easiest base for a first Krabi visit. The beach itself is a long strip of soft sand backed by a prom...

Koh Lanta is the calm end of Krabi. While Ao Nang and Phi Phi run on day-boats and beach bars, this long island an hour or so south trades the crowds for a string of west-facing beaches, a slow Old Town of stilt houses, and some of the best diving in the Andaman within reach. It sits at the southern edge of Krabi province...

A tandem skydive in Pattaya throws you out of a plane at 13,000 feet, the highest jump in Thailand, for about THB 9,450 to 10,500 (roughly Rs 23,200 to 25,700) per person. You fall for around 60 seconds at close to 200 km/h...

Parasailing in Pattaya clips you into a harness under a bright canopy and tows you up to about 100 metres above the bay behind a speedboat, for roughly 8 to 12 minutes in the air. It is the easiest adventure activity in the city to say yes to: no experience, no fitness and no swimming required. You can take off from Patta...

Snorkeling in Pattaya means one thing above all: a day trip out to Coral Island (Koh Larn) and the small islands around it, where shallow coral gardens sit a short speedboat ride from the beach. You do not need to dive, and you do not even need to swim well, because life jackets are provided and the best reefs are only a co...
