Yachting around the islands of Thailand – an exciting journey with the “Sparks Life” company

Koh Chang is one of the largest islands in Thailand – the third in area after Koh Samui and Phuket. The island is located in a bay that was once called Siam, it had common borders with Cambodia. There are not too many people here, which makes this area ideal for relaxation: gorgeous vegetation, beautiful beaches, many sea inhabitants have turned Koh Chang into a real paradise. In addition, the area has a rich history: the occupation by Japan during the Second World War, the seizure of territories by France, etc. Legends about the pirates of that time still seem to saturate the local air. Commemorative buoys were installed in the places of the Thai ships that sank in those days.
This is where our exciting adventure starts. We will make the transitions on a comfortable catamaran Lagoon 400. This vessel is rightfully considered the champion among sailing boats that are offered for rent. The catamaran is easy to fly, safe and very beautiful. The 4 cabins can accommodate 8 guests. There is also a spacious wardroom and 4 bathrooms. For safety, comfort and coziness, this yacht is able to satisfy even the most discerning guests.

The purest azure water, many corals and fish that are protected by the reserve, intricate deep rocks – all this will amaze you with its beauty. In addition, there is a gorgeous white sand beach with trees growing on its territory. You can hide under them from the scorching sun rays.

Day 4. Ko Mak.

This tiny islet, with a total area of only 16 square meters, will outshine any large island with its own beauty. It is an impeccable romantic place surrounded by sandy beaches on all sides. The island is covered with rubber and coconut plantations.
