Two new cruise liner ports are to be built in southern Thailand, one in Krabi and the other in Surat Thani, with an international yacht show also planned for the beginning of the high tourist season in November this year.
The number of tourists arriving in Thailand aboard cruise liners was capped at about 100,000 annually because of limited capacities of existing cruise liner ports, and some cruise liners had to dock at cargo ports. Therefore, in order to attract this group of tourists to visit and stay longer in Thailand, home ports will be built in Thailand soon.
