Khai Islands (4hrs)
Most yacht charters promise paradise, but the Khai Islands actually deliver it without the tourist circus. What makes this Thai charter special is having three pristine islands practically to yourself, especially when you're aboard the magnificent Sweet Lips.
This Princess Yacht 78ft superyacht transforms your four-hour escape into something remarkable. In our Thailand experience, the Khai Islands offer the clearest snorkeling waters around Phuket - visibility often exceeds 20 meters. The boat's spaciousness means your group of up to 20 guests never feels crowded, unlike those packed speedboat tours.
Worth noting about Thailand's weather patterns: those brief tropical showers during monsoon season are actually warm and refreshing, plus they clear out any remaining day-trippers. What we have found in Thai waters is that Sweet Lips' covered areas keep everyone comfortable regardless of weather.
The islands themselves remain gloriously undeveloped - no beach bars, no jet ski rentals, just powder-soft sand and fish-filled coral gardens. Plus, in these Thai waters, you'll spot everything from parrotfish to occasional reef sharks. The yacht's professional crew handles all the logistics while you focus on the important stuff: swimming, snorkeling, or simply lounging on deck.
Pack comfortable swimwear and prepare for crystalline waters that make your Instagram followers insufferably jealous. As relaxing as a hammock, but with better views.
