Three Longtail Boats Anchored at Kata Beach in Phuket, Thailand

At least once during your trip to Phuket Island you should ride in a ruea hang yao, better known as a longtail boat. These simple, colorful watercrafts are powered by a used car or truck engine. The motor is mounted in back with a very long driveshaft that runs the propeller. Your driver can take you on a coastal sightseeing tour, to the best spot for snorkeling or to the next beach for lunch. This adventure is loads of fun. But be prepared for a bumpy and often wet experience.
