Aquatic leisure is a major draw for visitors to Thailand, with endless waterborne pursuits to splash between—captain your own sailboat, haul a prize catch while deep-sea fishing, bounce along on an inflatable banana towed from a speedboat, or dive to the ocean below and spot a giant whale shark feeding away.

Thailand is blessed with stunning seas on both sides of the country. The west coast of Thailand faces the Andaman Sea which is a deep, blue sea stretching out to meet the Indian Ocean. Surrounded by Indochina Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean is the Gulf of Thailand.

The blue paradise of Thailand offers a wide range of water activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, canoeing, kayaking, jet skiing, wake boarding, surfing, parasailing, fishing, and swimming.
