Hace más de 100 años era un buque mercante que viajaba por el sudeste asiático transportando mercancías. "Pla Luang" significa "el pez honorable", nombre que refleja el respeto y la veneración que se le profesa en Tailandia.
En la actualidad, Pla Luang ha cambiado sus ajetreadas rutas comerciales por las resplandecientes aguas de Railay y sus alrededores, donde ha vivido con gracia durante unos 20 años. Recientemente, le hemos dado un poco de TLC, restaurándolo para ofrecerle una experiencia verdaderamente única. Su diseño tradicional presenta una popa en forma de herradura y una cubierta alta, lo que le confiere un encanto clásico e intemporal. Con un fondo plano y sin quilla, depende de un gran timón para deslizarse suavemente sobre las olas.
Rooftop Deck — Your Sunset Front-Row Seat
Stretch out on our comfy cushions and soak up the sunshine, or grab a drink and enjoy the best seat in the house for sunset. The rooftop is spacious, breezy, and perfect for relaxing, chatting, or just taking in those unbelievable Andaman Sea views. If you are feeling adventurous you can jump from the roof into the ocean.
Shade, Comfort & Easy Vibes
Our main deck is where everyone naturally gathers. With plenty of shady areas, soft cushions, and space to move around, it’s the heart of the boat. Whether you’re sun-seeking or shade-loving, you’ll find your perfect spot.
Quality Snorkeling Equipment — Clean, Comfortable & Confident
We use reliable, well-maintained snorkeling gear that fits comfortably and makes it easy for beginners and experienced snorkelers alike. We have adult and kids sizes and all our adult masks have anti fog lenses, so you are guaranteed a comfortable snorkeling experience without worrying about your mask fogging. We also have prescription masks for those people that are far sighted. We have every prescription from -1.0 to -9.0.
Clean, Private & Convenient
No need to rough it — we have a proper western-style bathroom on board, plus a freshwater shower so you can rinse off after swimming. It’s clean, spacious enough to move around, and perfect for freshening up during your island-hopping day.
Glide Over Crystal Clear Water
Hop on a paddleboard and explore the calm bays around the islands. Whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve paddled before, it’s a fun, relaxing way to enjoy the water and get amazing photos. All our paddle boards are inflatable and we have different sizes that are good for 1 person and up to 3 people per board. We also provide dry bags so you can take your phone safely to shore. We have about 7 paddleboards onboard.
Explore At Your Own Pace
Take our double kayak out for a peaceful paddle along limestone cliffs or into small hidden bays. It’s steady, easy to control, and a great option if you want to explore together with a friend or partner.
Cocktail Bar — Free-Flow Drinks All Cruise Long
Fancy a cold beer? A colourful cocktail? A chilled fruit juice? Our crew keeps the drinks flowing all day. Relax, sip, chat, and enjoy the island life — it’s all part of the experience.
Good Music, Good Vibes
We’ve got a great sound system on board that we recently upgraded so you can enjoy island tunes all day. We keep the volume just right so it never disturbs the peaceful surroundings. We have speakers on the main and upper deck so you wont miss out on our chilled playlist wherever you sit.
Personal Guides — Perfect for Beginners & Non-Swimmers
Our friendly guides are always in the water with you, ready to help anyone who isn’t a confident swimmer. With lifejackets, floating rings, and patient support, they make sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and included — no stress, just fun.
We have a big stainless steel ladder making it easy to get from the water back into the boat. Makes all the difference when you’re tired from swimming or diving and just want to haul yourself back aboard without any drama.
Plus, stainless steel means no rust worries, which is always a bonus in salty conditions. We give it a quick rinse down now and then just to keep it sparkling. Honestly, it’s one of the best investments we made for the boat. Makes getting back in the water just as easy as getting out!
El junco es una antigua embarcación de vela china que sigue utilizándose hoy en día. Los juncos pueden haberse desarrollado a partir de las primeras balsas de bambú, que tenían una popa alta. Las pinturas rupestres de los cromañones de la costa indochina muestran embarcaciones de doble casco con forma de junco.
Los juncos se desarrollaron durante la dinastía Han (206 a.C.- 220 d.C.) y ya se utilizaban como embarcaciones marítimas en el siglo II d.C.. Evolucionaron en las dinastías posteriores y se utilizaron en toda Asia para extensos viajes oceánicos. Se encontraron, y se siguen encontrando en menor número, en todo el Sudeste Asiático y la India, pero sobre todo en China, tal vez en Hong Kong. En la actualidad, cada vez hay más veleros modernos de recreo aparejados como juncos.
Los juncos clásicos se construían con maderas blandas (aunque de teca en Guangdong) y primero se les daba la forma exterior. A continuación, se construían múltiples compartimentos/cabezales a los que se accedía por escotillas y escaleras separadas, que recordaban la estructura interior del bambú.
