Boltd Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Just off Ban Rak there are two amazing looking Yachts anyone know the names of these boats or some good photos I remember one a couple of years ago called "white cloud" moored between FV and KPY, it sat there for about 3 weeks and the owner/renter potted around on the Bell Helicopter that sat on the upper deck when not used evidently the global crises isnt affecting everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2oDunc Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I have a " White cloud " T shirt and cap. When the guy left Samui he went to Tao for some diving at the shop I used to work for. got to go have a look on board. It had like a garage at the back of the boat. A ramp went down and the tender sailed out and the reverse when returning. A very nice yacht indeed. The helicopter pilot used to be the pilot for Jaques Couasteau on his ship the Calypso.

H2oDunc Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 That's the kiddy What a toy !A very nice man that owns it as well. Not in the least bit snobbish or up his own bottom if you get the gist I tried to wangle a ride in the chopper but there are certain rules surrounding Koh Tao as far as choppers are concerned evidently Chatting to the pilot certainly opened my eyes to old Jaques though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe84330 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 where is a nice marine park to attract the super rich ??? from my experience, they prefer places closer to urban centers that allow more people to see them and ask who's yacht it is.

joe84330 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 are you talking about an actual marina and not a "marine park" as in mu koh angthong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2oDunc Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I think he means a marina for keeping boats moored There is / was talk of putting a floating marina at Koh Som Though it seems to have stalled a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe84330 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 figured as much. it will be a long time before there is a marina here, floating or otherwise, koh som or samui. unfortunate really, waking up to some sunshine and a nice breeze, looks like a great day to be sailing.

I see they have extended the bundwalls at the boat lagoon here in plailam to accommodate alot more boats, if they just installed some floating pontoons now it would start to resemble a marina I had also heard that the pier in fishermans village was to be removed and replaced by a 75meter long floating pontoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
