Reasons Koh Chang Better than Phuket

I have compiled a list of reasons why I think that Asia Poseidon is a better choice for your customers 1 week charter in December compared to M/Y Family in Phuket.

  • AP Has a better selection of watersport toys. I’m sure their kids will love all the array of toys.
  • AP is at a better price point and offers a better value for money charter.
  • The Gulf of Thailand Sea conditions around the stunning Koh Chang National park I can almost guarantee will be calm with lake-like flat water anchorages. The weather will be most likely dry and sunny. At Phuket’s Andaman Sea in December you can for sure expect rough seas and perhaps wet weather.
  • The Gorgeous 52 islands that make up the Koh Chang archipelago offer so many exclusive private VIP anchorages where you are likely to be the only boat there. In Phuket you are huddled together with many boats at the best anchorages especially when the seas are rough and every boat runs to the same bay for shelter.
  • Koh Chang and especially Koh Mak and Koh Kood have a very limited number of resorts so all of the beaches and onshore restaurants are tranquil. There are many fantastic restaurants including those at the Soneva Kiri Koh Kood which is Thailand’s only 6 star hotel. At Phuket and Phi Phi island etc the place is rammed with tourists and party goers especially over the Christmas and New Year peak season.
  • AP has had over the last year almost an inwater total refit and is presented in an excellently maintained condition. Brand new more powerful full yacht air conditioning system, Brand new Bridge navigation equipment, Serious money spent on stock inventory and periodic maintenance including renewing many parts on the generators, brand new LSA equipment, Renewed all interior woodwork, Brand new fast and super complex internet system, entire teak decks new sikaflex, sanding and in parts like the swim platform total teak replacement (deck is like brand new now) Upgraded Audio and Visual system, New speakers are currently awaiting to be fitted, New Sundeck furniture is also awaiting delivery, New Super sized bigger than Super King Custom beds in the master and the VIP, Brand new Water sport toys, the list goes on.
  • AP wooden interior I feel is much more luxurious Italian design compared to M/Y Family Formega panels on all the walls and planked floor in the saloon etc.
  • AP has an amazing crew. Perhaps M/Y Family does also. I do not know that but I can guarantee AP crew is great and will give the guests a fabulous charter.
