Editor’s Note

“There is a reason the longtail boat is the symbol of Thailand. While speedboats get you there faster, the longtail allows you to experience the journey. This luxury version is my top recommendation for travelers who want to feel the soul of Phuket without sacrificing the comforts of a premium holiday. Don’t forget to ask your captain about the ‘Mother of the Sea’ offerings—the colorful ribbons on the bow are a beautiful local tradition.”

City Legends & Mysteries: The Naga of Phuket

Local folklore tells of a great Naga (a giant mythical serpent) that sleeps beneath Phuket. According to legend, the island itself is the back of this ancient dragon. Locals believe that the Naga protects the waters, and the unique limestone formations jutting out of the sea are its scales. When you see the colorful silk ribbons tied to the prow of our longtail boats, you are witnessing a tradition to honor the spirits of the sea and the Naga, ensuring a safe and blessed journey.
