conditions & access

Best wind

Winter setup proposed; a later local reply says nearby Pattaya gets short runs during north-wind periods

Season

Winter candidate

Water

Gulf of Thailand coastal wind-bump candidate; surface quality is not reported

Experience

Advanced coastal route candidate requiring local completion and safety verification

Hazards

No completed run is documented. Exact start geometry, foil depth, vessel traffic, marina approach, bailouts and rescue support are unknown; do not rely on the schematic midpoint for navigation.

Parking & access

Verify the exact Jomtien start, Ocean Marina landing permission and a two-point shuttle. The forum publishes no lots, water entries or marina landing rights.

“A Progression Project forum Thailand downwind discussion proposes a roughly 10 km winter line from Jomtien Heads to Ocean Marina Yacht Club. The thread does not report a completed foil run; this is therefore stored as a route candidate with a schematic midpoint, not as a proven course.”
