were rather tired. Boat Lagoon Resort is a big resort built around a well equiped marina, The reason why we choosed Boat Lagoon is the fact that three of the biggest brookers in Thailand has offices here.
Apartments, offices, shops and restaurants all around the marina.
View from the balkony of our room.
Already the first day we had meetings with 2 of the 3 brookers. They helped us alot with information concerning buying process, insurance, registration, etceteras,
Thursday we looked at the first boats. One 42 feet monohull that was not for us. Neither condition nor planning was what we looking for. The other one was a 47 feet monohull that could have been acceptable if the condition was better.
During Thursday morning we also managed to meet the third brooker. He had a new boat for sale, and by coincidence the seller was in the office as well, It was a 42 feet monohull that very fresh and not very old, We feel that 42 feet might be on the smallish side, but it is still very interesting as it is equiped almost as we want it, and only a couple of years in the water.
Friday morning we looked at a 49 feet monohull with all the equipment we ever could dream about. The condition of the boat was also good, and the boat is inside our budget even if we need to invest in new sails and renewal of some of the rigging. Our main concern is that the cockpit is very small for a boat of that size, and we expect to spend a lot of the time in the cockpit.
In the evening we took a taxi to Phuket Town, and had a good thai meal. We ended the evening on Timber Hut - a bar with live music and a lot of people.
After a late night we have spent the day in the fantastic pool area relaxing.
We do not use our Swedish telephone numbers anymore, but we have a thai number now: +66807403493.
