Fine white sand, striking bays and one of the strongest all-round island days near Phuket.

Destination 01

Easy Island Escape
Couples, families and groups who want a simple beach-and-swim day rather than a demanding itinerary.
Atmosphere
Bright & Social
Koh Khai Nok is small and popular, so the mood can be lively when day-trip boats are on the beach.
Water
Clear & Shallow
Its shallow water and visible fish make it approachable for casual swimmers and beginner snorkellers.
Charter Advantage
Your Own Pace
A private yacht lets the day revolve around your group instead of a fixed shared-tour timetable.
What to do
- Swim directly from the island's bright sandy shoreline.
- Enjoy casual snorkelling in shallow water and look for colourful reef fish.
- Use the island's compact scale for relaxed beach time and easy photography.
- Return aboard Ruangsri for shade, privacy and a slower pace away from the beach activity.
A relaxed Ruangsri day
01
Depart Chalong Bay
Settle into the yacht, enjoy the open deck and let the crew shape the route around the day’s conditions.
02
Island Time
Swim, take photos and spend time ashore when local conditions and landing access allow.
03
Slow the Day Down
Return aboard for drinks, conversation and quiet time on deck before heading back toward Phuket.
The Journey Matters Too
The yacht is part
of the destination.
With Ruangsri, the day is not simply about reaching an island. The open deck, the sea breeze, the changing coastline and the space between stops are part of the experience.
Destination 02
Maiton Island
02
Known in Thai as Ko Mai Thon, this small island southeast of Phuket is prized for clear water, coral, beaches and a more secluded atmosphere — a natural fit for guests who want the charter to feel quiet and restorative.

What to do
- Swim from white-sand bays and enjoy the clarity of the water.
- Snorkel around suitable reef areas when sea conditions and local rules allow.
- Take in the island's horseshoe-shaped bays and surrounding hill scenery.

A relaxed Ruangsri day
01
Settle In for the Sail
Racha works best when the journey is treated as part of the day rather than dead travel time.
02
Bay & Water Time
The captain selects the most suitable anchorage based on conditions, then the day opens into swimming, snorkelling and beach time.
03
Return at Your Pace
Wind down on deck and enjoy the changing light as Ruangsri heads back toward Chalong Bay.
Space Between Stops
Sit back.
Stay on deck.
Ruangsri’s open deck gives the charter a slower rhythm — somewhere to eat, talk, stretch out and enjoy the coastline without needing another activity every minute.
Destination 04
Coral Island
04
Also known as Koh Hae, Coral Island sits south of Phuket and is one of the easiest ways to turn a free day into a tropical yacht day — clear shallow water, sandy beaches, casual snorkelling and a choice between doing more or doing very little.

- Try casual snorkelling in suitable shallow-water areas.
- Choose optional island activities if they fit your group's mood and are available locally.

not just by name.
