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.


Spacious Decks, Shade, & Rooftop views
The rooftop deck is one of the most loved spaces on board, and for good reason. Stretch out on soft cushions, enjoy a drink from the bar, and take in sweeping sunset views across the Andaman Sea. It’s spacious, breezy, and whether you’re sunbathing during the day or settling in as the sky changes in the evening, this deck gives you a calm, elevated perspective you simply don’t get on most Krabi tours.
If you’re feeling adventurous, and conditions are right, you can also jump from the roof into the ocean.
Shade, Space & Easy Vibes
The main deck is where everyone naturally gathers. There’s plenty of room to walk around, plus comfy shaded seating (and lots of sunny seats too), so it never feels cramped. If you’re comparing different day trips from Krabi or browsing things to do in Krabi province Thailand, this is where Pla Luang really stands out. It’s designed for slowing down, chatting, and enjoying the journey, not just rushing between islands. A great option for groups who have that someone who feels a little nervous on water.


Clean, Comfortable & Confident
We provide reliable, well maintained snorkeling gear in both adult and child sizes, making this a strong option for anyone considering a Snorkeling cruise Krabi. All adult masks have anti fog lenses, so you can enjoy the water without constant adjustments.
For guests who are far sighted, we also carry prescription masks from -1.0 to -9.0. It’s a small detail, but it makes a huge difference to comfort and confidence in the water.
Clean & Convenient
No need to rough it. Pla Luang has a proper western bathroom on the boat, along with a freshwater shower guests can use throughout the day.
If you’ve been specifically searching for a boat cruise in Krabi with shower and bathroom, this feature alone can be a deciding factor. It’s ideal after swimming, snorkeling, or paddleboarding, and makes longer day tours from Krabi far more comfortable.


Glide Over Crystal Clear Water
We carry 7 inflatable paddleboards (different sizes, that are good for 1 person and up to 3 per board), and we provide dry bags so you can take your phone to shore safely.
These extras turn a standard island day into something more playful, and they fit perfectly with a Crucero de isla en isla por Krabi vibe. 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.


Explore At Your Own Pace
Our double kayak is perfect for gentle exploration along limestone cliffs or into quieter bays. It’s stable, easy to handle, and a great option for couples or friends who want to explore together.
This slower pace fits naturally with relaxed Krabi tours, especially for guests who want more than just quick photo stops on a standard four island Krabi route.
Free-Flow Drinks All Cruise Long
Fancy a cold beer? A colourful cocktail? A chilled fruit juice? There’s a fully stocked cocktail bar boat cruise setup on board, and 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. With speakers on both the main and upper decks, you can enjoy the playlist wherever you choose to sit.
The volume is always kept at a level that complements the surroundings, never overpowering the sea or the scenery.

Perfect for Beginners & Non-Swimmers
Not everyone arrives confident in the water, and that’s completely normal. Our friendly guides are always in the water with you, ready to help anyone who isn’t a confident swimmer. Lifejackets, floating rings, and patience is why our trip is a great boat cruise for non swimmers, and why families often tell us they felt looked after from the start. Everyone feels safe, comfortable, and included – no stress, just fun.
Getting back on board is simple thanks to a large stainless steel ladder at the side of the boat. It’s sturdy, easy to use, and makes transitions between swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing on deck smooth and stress free.
This is especially appreciated on longer Crucero de isla en isla por Krabi days and routes like the four island tour Krabi, where you’re in and out of the water multiple times.




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.
