I live in Thailand and keep a boat in Phuket. I would say that more
then half of the sail boats that have air conditioning here are using
window air conditioners sitting on the deck and ducted through an
upper hatch. Cheaper to purchase then dedicated systems, cheaper to
repair and easier to maintain -- remember that with a water cooled
system you WILL have to clean the water inlet filter at least weekly
here in Thailand.

Gee, I don't know how I missed you as we spent the month of January on
Phuket, doing the tourist bit. I was actually wondering about the rainy
season and how hot and steamy it is there now. I think the guides said
November to March were the best months.

I'm at Yacht Haven. Where were you?
Yes, the dry season is the best time to visit, a bit cooler and less
humidity. During the rainy season it is usually hot and sunny for a
couple of days and then rain for a day or so. Or showers at night. The
humidity is higher then in the dry season but not terribly so. The
problem in visiting during the rainy season is you may hit a bad spell
where it rains pretty much all week.

We came by plane and stayed in Phuket town. Did the tourist touring by day
and a little wandering by night. We did manage to get over to Patong a time
or two, but not our cup of tea. Actually the next time we visit, I would
love to be on a boat. I could see the potential cruising areas that I would
like to try..

A number of companies have either crewed or uncrewed charters. you
could easily spend a week, or more, cruising Phang Nga Bay. Plenty of
easy overnight trips and good anchorages.

Do a Google on something like "charter phuket" you should get plenty
of hits.

Thanks Bruce and we might just do that. I should have checked while we were
there, but having to much fun going out with an English friend while there.
