One Day Boat Trip!

[thaigerd]

I think I've found the perfect match for a Sunday boat trip.

Look at this boat:Boat Trip on Sunday

Spoke to the owner today morning (he's a member here) and I will meet him this weekend to see his yacht by myself.

So I am looking for 10-12 people who would like to come for a Sunday boat trip.

Cost per person 2000.-Baht, I will sponsor a big pot of chili con carne and fresh baguette,

drinks are available on board(cheap).

Date should be a Sunday next month.

Your ideas and suggestions now!

Gerd

im interested gerd. but it does depend on the date as i have a friend visiting next month and i need to spend quality time with them above anything else.

[borracho]

That's a good price you arranged for that boat. You probably won't be going far.

I'll take a pass as the seas this time of year aren't especially comfortable.

You can charter a long tail boat for a day out of Phangna for about 1500 baht. Take you to some nice sheltered beaches with good fishing. They are comfortable for 4-6 people. Or you can charter 2 boats as they are so cheap.

I also know someone who can arrange the whole experience for about 2500 baht a head including a picnic lunch, drinks and transport to Phangna.

Donna, so far it looks like it's only you, me and the Chili con Carne

bloody hel_l gerd! you expect me to go on THAT?

just kidding. looks bloody beautiful to me. you can count me in - depending on the date of course....

[thaigerd]

Thanks Donna,

I guess most Sundays are fine for you, but we have to wait for some more replies.

I will give it 2 more weeks, when no more replies coming we just can forget it.

Have a nice Sunday!

Hi there guys, I don'tknow any off you, but i'd be glad to tag along as i'll be in Patong most of June.

Drop me a line if and when you have the date

Les Norton

[donna]

i would say that a big red headed git like Les Norton would be more than welcome.

ya dunderhead.

[LivinginKata]

I'm not really interested in fishing, but a day out on the water having drinks and chat sounds a good idea. The chilli & baguettes would be icing on the cake. I would cancel if rainy day (like it is right now). Keep us up to date of what you plan to do.

[LesNorton]

why Donna thank you for them kind word, les norton takes that as a yes that his invited on the boat and i promise to leave warren at home.

[DanBlack]

If Sun. June 10th is good for those interested, I say, lets go for it. If it isn't a full boat, there will be more of Gerd's delicious food to go around.

Other than eating and drinking we will try to try to fit in some swimming, snorkeling, fishing and kayaking

[LivinginKata]

Book me a place, subject to weather. If horrible like today, then I'll be a no show...

[donna]

june 10 - count me in.

[thaigerd]

june 10 - count me in.

.......and me please!

Spoke to Dan(the boat owner) today and asked him to "take over" from here and explain some more details about our trip.

It's your turn now Dan

Gerd

[DanBlack]

So, Sun June 10th it is. We will be meeting on the pier at Laem Hin between 0930 and 1000. It is an old wooden pier beside Laem Hin Seafood Restaurant. To get there from Phuket Town, take Thep Krasattri Rd. North towards the airport, It is on the right hand side not too far past Super Cheap. Coming via the By Pass Rd., turn right at the end, South towards Phuket Town, go about 3 KM then past the big temple, 2nd soi after that there is a bunch of advertising signs, Laem Hin restaurant, Coke, Coconut village etc. Follow that road a couple of KMs to the end, and you will be at the pier. We will be going rain or shine, rain and shine, rain shine rain, shine shine rain etc.

[LivinginKata]

I'll be there so long as it's not a really horrible day. Will any Thai other halves be there. I'll bring my wife if she has some other Thais to talk with. Please respond....

[DanBlack]

My Thai wife will be there, It seems to rain at some point of the day, so if it is raining when you wake up, maybe that will be it

[LivinginKata]

Dan,

I've been an avid weather watcher most of my adult life and worked & lived afloat much of my adult life. I've been watching Phuket weather every day for past 10 years (I even have a daily Patong weather report page on my personal web site), so I know a lot about Phuket weather .

I study the Phuket Airport rain radar web link http://www2.tmd.go.th/radar/phuketLoop.html every morning (a reflex habit of mine from my yacht bum days), and I find that's the best rain chance indicator over the next 12 hours.

Hopefully we will meet up next week and swop sea tales, and hopefully my wife will accompany me. Will there be space ? Can you confirm the cost, Gerd spoke about 2,000 baht/head. And will there be the promised (Gerd) chill con carne & bagettes ?
