Aquarius is currently anchored just off Yacht Haven, and will remain here for about 2 weeks.  There are a few restaurants close by, Mom and Pops is the best we found.  You can rent a car fo 800 Baht (about $26 per day).  Dinghy dock at Yacht Haven is 300 Baht, but is not policed.  There is security 24 hours, and if you don't have a key to the gate, you will have to wait until someone opens the gate.  We would rather be sailing, but our engine has a few problems, so waiting for the Volvo guys to complete repairs.


Thailand is expensive to complete work because of the Taxes, and Import duties.  Yes, there are skilled workers here, but they do not come cheap.  Marinas are very expensive in Thailand.  Malaysia much cheaper.
