Venture into the World of Water sports.

Venture into the World of
Water sports
The beaches of Patong, Kata Jet Ski

A Jet Ski action is obviously the most popular and sought-after water sport available on Phuket beaches. Along Patong, a small single ski or a double ski are available for rent. The choices of outings come in two time schemes of either 15 minutes or 30 minutes. While this sport requires a license to operate, and you don't have one, don't get discouraged straight away. Go ahead , hire the machine, and invade the waves with the trainer. It's not cheaper of course, but rather safer for a beginner.
Banana Boat
Are the other water sports giving you the creeps? Why don't you try a Banana Boat ride? It is considered as one of the safest and cheapest kinds of water sport available along Patong Beach and the other beaches mentioned earlier. The process simply requires riders to sit on the Banana Boat which will then be pulled by the jet ski.
Parasailing
The magic of the colorful parasail hovering around the beach is inviting you to get the adrenaline pumping all over your body. The about five-minute process will require you to put on all your gears plus weights. You'll be allowed to take off of course, but not before making sure that all safety precautions are checked and met. If you're a novice to the sport, a rental staff will be asked to take off with you. This is to make sure that the round you will take will follow the direction earlier specified and a safe and smooth landing is ensured.

Jet Skis on Phuket

Jet Skis on Phuket
There are five Phuket beaches where you can legally use a Jet Ski-Karon, Patong, Kata, Kamala and Bangtao beaches.

You have to be a bit careful when renting a Jet Ski on Phuket.
You should only rent from licensed Jet Ski operators and their licenses should be available for inspection. You could be fined for renting from a vendor without a license. Anyone operating a Jet Ski in Phuket is also supposed to hold a 'Second Class Helmsmen of Power Driven Sea-going Vessels' certificate. If you have not got one (which we can assume most people do not!) there is seldom a problem. However, if you have an accident it is more serious. Operating a Jet Ski without such a certificate means if you have an accident you could pay a fine of 10,000 Baht! If you are worried about this, just go on a Jet Ski as a passenger. Phuket law dictates that if you travel on a jet Ski even as a passenger you must were a life jacket that has a whistle-not a bad idea anyway really! In addition, according to the law, you should not go further than 500 metres away form the coastline-again, pretty much commonsense. Likewise, if sea conditions are such that a red flag is raised to people stop swimming, you are not allowed to use Jet Ski...again, a very practical law which most people should be happy to follow.

Sea Kayaks & Canoe Tour in Thailand


Sea Kayaks & Canoe

Tour in Thailand


your canoe glides quietly as you watch in awe at the natural beauty around you. At another time and place you are part of a small group of intrepid adventure seekers paddling the Andaman sea at night. Nothing but moonlight, stars and the natural luminescence of the sea is there to guide you.
Up and down the coast of Southern Thailand, nature's perfection awaits the kayak and canoe. Limestone karsts with stunning grottos. More birds than you could imagine. Monkeys, langurs and monitor lizards are your audience.
Quiet islands with beautiful beaches seem to becon. Naional Parks offer a pristine glimpse at nature that city dweller will never forget.
Kayak or Canoe? Equipment should fit the touring requirement. Inflatable canoes, sit-on-tops and sea kayaks each have advantages. Inflatables can be packed into remote areas and are especially good for when the current is carrying the craft. Sit-on-tops are maneuverable for caves and grottos; and good for short distances. Sea kayaks are much better for longer distances and in open water. Dave Williams offers an in-depth discussion of kayaks and their advantages.
Tour Planning and Tides Many of the better locations for sea kayak touring depends on ocean tides. Features can be revealed or hidden. Some tours need to be planned individually.
Training if you are not experienced, make sure you get good training.

Sea Kayaking Locations in Thailand
Ko Tarutao Island off the coast of Sathun and will likely be made famous by "Survivor". Excellent water, snorkeling, great caves, jungle treks and mangroves. Watch macaques, langurs, Bramany kites, hornbills and kingfishers.
Phang Nga This national park of limestone karst that dot the bay make perfect day trips. Caves, grottos and fine beaches are abundant. Be back in the hotel for dinner or do an over nighter. Sea eagles and Bramany kites will be watching from above..
Trang Short paddling trips from one offshore island to another. Uncrowded with great water and fine beaches. Grottos and caves. Many of these islands have bungalows.
Khao Sok National Park. A feast of eco tourism. Verdant jungles, a fresh water reservoir. Soaring limestone karst. A dazzling array of birds. Wild pigs, gibbons, langurs and more. Primitive bungalows but a true nature experience.
