Longtail boat Phuket – Why it's really worth a trip
A longtail boat is not a tourist gimmick, but the traditional means of transport in southern Thailand. On Phuket, these slender wooden boats are ideal for short transfers, private island hopping tours, or relaxed sunset cruises.
The major benefit:
You are flexible. No mass processing like on large speedboats. No fixed group routes. Instead, individually planned stops at bays, beaches, and snorkeling spots.
If you want to experience Phuket properly, then do it from the water.
