Long Tail Boat Phuket: Where Tradition Meets Modern Day Island Hopping
Long Tail Boat Phuket Magic and Private Day Charters By Speedboat – All in a Day’s Adventures!
Phuket is surrounded by the tropical waters and breathtaking shores of the Andaman Sea. This stunning region is world-renowned for offering endless opportunities for exploration and relaxation. Among the many ways to experience the tropical paradise that abounds is a ride on a longtail boat. These boats are a must-experience when holidaying in Phuket. But be sure to book a private day charter with Fun Seekers, too; it’s the cherry on top of your Phuket escapades!
A longtail boat is a traditional Thai wooden watercraft characterized by its narrow shape, engine, and long propeller shaft. Their distinctive wooden design and rich cultural history, provide an authentic and scenic way to discover Phuket’s scenic beauty. Perfect for exploring close to Phuket’s coast and for short trips across to neighboring islands. They are ideal for venturing to islands such as Koh Bon off Rawai’s coast, Coconut Island from the east side of the island near Ko Kaew, north of Phuket Town, and the Koh Tapao islands off Cape Panwa, for example. A good location to find a longtail boat would be on Rawai Beach. You can walk up to them and start negotiating!
Those looking to elevate their adventure should take to the crystal clear sea on a sporty speedboat. Book a private day charter that combines enjoyment and convenience with extraordinary exploration.
Why a Long Tail Boat Ride – and Speedboat Charter – Should Be on Your Phuket Wish List
The long tail boat, or reua hang yao, in Thai, is an iconic symbol of Thai maritime tradition, a form of practical transportation and originally used by local fishermen. Access to these boats is available across the island, so hopping aboard and discovering this amazing part of the world is easy.
While the traditional long tail offers a charming glimpse into Thailand’s past and an experience worth delighting in, Fun Seekers provides an elevated twist on exploring Phuket and the unbelievable collection of islands across the exotic expanse of the surrounding sea.
Private charters are perfect for those who want a more refined and personalized adventure. Guests can embark on a one day or half day trip to visit spectacular destinations, and there are dozens to choose from.
Visit James Bond Island, Koh Tapu, meaning ‘spike’ or ‘nail’, and nearby Khao Ping Kan, meaning ‘leaning mountain’. These provide the cinematic backdrop for James Bond Island, which was featured in 007’s famed ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’ movie.
Much more than that, the entire region of Phang Nga Bay is literally out of this world, featuring the unique floating Muslim fishing village of Koh Panyee as a must-visit. Explore the area’s picturesque sea caves and mangroves, primarily located within Ao Phang Nga National Park, renowned for its stunning limestone karsts, sea caves, or hongs, and expansive mangrove forests. All offer a glimpse into local life and the breathtaking natural beauty of the area.
A one day trip by speedboat gives you the freedom to explore more – and further afield, or beyond the horizon rather – with fabulous destinations like the Similan Islands, the Phi Phi Islands and Racha Yai and Noi, to name a few.

More Time to Explore?
With so much to see and do, if you have more time to discover Phuket and the area around the island, like the Phang Nga province, it’s recommended that you explore more of this stunning region. Phang Nga Bay of course, is not to be missed. For breathtaking panoramic views of Phang Nga Bay, head to Samat Nangshe Viewpoint.
Another interesting point of interest is the Monkey Cave, Wat Suwankuha Temple. While temples are a frequent and popular sight in Thailand, Wat Suwan Khuha is a fascinating stop for cultural and adventure seekers. The temple is part of a unique cave where macaques live freely within the temple complex. The cave offers stunning stalactite formations, various Buddha statues, a spiritual atmosphere, and a glimpse into local culture and religion.
On a final note, perhaps a highlight and unmissable experience is a visit to an ethical elephant sanctuary in Phuket or Phang Nga, for an authentic encounter with elephants, a very symbolic animal of Thailand.
Relish the moments as you explore the vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and unforgettable experiences that Phuket and the surrounding region offer.
