As a convenient reference, the Thai Baht (TBH) is now trading at $1 US = 34 THB. That puts a 120,000 THB boat at around $3,500 US and a 20,000 THB longtail at $588 and a 35,000 THB engine at $1,029 US.

logtail with a sail

Thanks for the replies, i now have a good idea what to expect to pay. also the idea to get a local to do the bidding, i think is a good one. One more question, has anyone seen a longtail with a sail?!. I dont think it would be too difficult to rig a small mast and sail. I would like to see some pics if anyone has some. thanx plaa....

Then you would be at Rayong, mud and more ship yards, refineries deep sea pipes bouys etc,--- you know the usuall navigators nightmare. In the mean time your boat would have sunk any way. The weather can blow up to a dangerous level for such a vessel.

Then you expect to dump the boat and walk up the beach just before Cambodia, the place where tourists are kidnapped for money!!.Interesting holiday you have planned there.

The eastern sea board is industrial apart from some tourist destinations. To do any thing like this you would need to go to Crabi or Lanta Island, and travel as far as Malaysia,--a far safer destination.
I totaly agree. only locally experienced salors and boats will assure you your life and liberty, south like he says is doable. This is not the flordia keys.

I crossed your name while researching Vadura online. Are you the Fred that sailed with us once? We are trying to arrange a reunion in NZ next year if it's you.
