Cruising
Thailand has over a 1,000nm of mainland coastline bordering the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand (Siam). With thousands of islands, there are many more miles of beaches, creeks and headlands meeting the sea. Lying between 5 and 13 degrees north, the climate is tropical, the beaches are palm fringed, with priste white sand,crystal waters and superb coral reefs.

Immigration Visas & Customs
Submit details about customs and immigration procedures here. We have been in and out of Thailand many times and there is little cost except for weekend overtime at the Immigration places, Also unlike many other places the ship captain cannot check in or out passengers and Crew members. Places like Satun which as a strong river tidal currents should be avoided as all crew and passengers must attend the immigration. Also do not take your time from Langkawi to Phuket as the immigration want to charge a non recieted fee for any delays more than 3 days. You can sit and argue for an hour and get away with it sometimes.--Rossmonty 03:26, 15 June 2008 (MDT)
