How to find a Thai Speedboat Captain

[rednomad47]

I'm searching for a Thai speedboat captain - does anyone know of any pools from which to draw? Obviously searching around in person in places like Samui and Phuket are a given, but does anyone know of a specific place or website or area or agency that can help with this sort of thing? Many thanks!!

Contact the marinas, phuket and pattaya have big ones, maybe other places too.

To pilot your own boat ? Aren't foreigners allowed to pilot ?

google is your friend. Alos, local marinas. There's a few hundreds of them out there. Phone around, have your wife talk to them. Barter for prices. We got a 9 day high sea fishing trip for 9 persons, around the Similan islands, for only 5500 US $. Burned 1600 litres of Diesel on that trip. Call me a CO2 footprint killer.

In Pattaya there is a place call The Captain's Bar.

This should be your first port of call.

A lot of seamen frequent this bar.
