Hello BJ,
Welcome to Cruiser Log ! Well done Sailnet!
About 100 miles south east of Bangkok is another world - the first stop would be the Royal Varuna Yacht Club just south of Pattaya Bay here is a link to the club :-
RVYC
Then about 4 miles south of the RVYC is the Ocean Marina :-
OMYC
From a sailing point of view the Western Gulf has many small islands with anchorages.
Buying a boat is easy - ever since the Government removed all import taxes on boats.
The best place to purchase would be in Phuket or Langkawi Malaysia (just south of Thailand's southern border) although there may also be opportunities to buy in the Gulf.
