WILD HOME / VOL. 05

Our home for a week
among wild islands.

Count me in ↓

01 / BACK TO THE SEA TOGETHER

Wild islands.
Your kind of people.
Wild Home.

Our fifth gathering in Thailand. We live on boats, explore islands and dance beside the sea.

For a week, yachts become our little homes and the flotilla a town on the water. Visit your neighbours, meet over breakfast, create small events and find your people.

Come solo, as a couple or with friends. No sailing experience is needed: skippers from our school will be with you.

02 / CREATE IT TOGETHER

Your boat.
Your camp.

Inspired by the idea of Burning Man: everyone brings something they love to our shared home. Together, that becomes the festival.

CAMP DAY / 25 JANUARY

A tea room on deck.
A musical breakfast.
Or something entirely yours.

You do not need to build a huge stage. Host a game, run a creative workshop, share your favourite music or invent a little ritual for your crew and neighbours.

01Bring something you want to share.

02Dream up an event with your crew.

03Invite the whole flotilla over.

Talk to Anton about your camp idea ↗

We already have favourite camps.
Perhaps yours will be next.

Our departure and return port. Green mountains, fishing villages and sea all around. If time allows, we will visit Salak Phet for houses over the water and local seafood.

05 / OUR WEEK TOGETHER

Eight days.
So many stories.

There are shared events and time to yourself. Take the helm, explore the islands, dance or simply read on deck.

0123 JanuaryKo ChangOur home's first dayIntroductions · opening
Koh Chang — Our home's first day

At 08:00, meet at Urbana Sathorn in Bangkok and travel together to our home marina on Koh Chang. Settle into your cabin, meet your crew and skipper, and learn how life on board works.

In the evening, join our opening ritual. Nine separate boats begin to become one flotilla.

0224 JanuaryKo WaiFirst passage. First wow.Sailing · Jungle & Tribal
Koh Wai — First passage. First wow.

Sail towards tiny Koh Wai. Swim from the yachts, have lunch ashore, snorkel and catch that golden light that makes you want to linger another hour.

In the evening, Jungle & Tribal: a warm night, an island, music and our first dances together.

0325 JanuaryKo Rang → Ko MakReefs by day. Camps by night.Snorkelling · Camp Day
Koh Rang → Koh Mak — Reefs by day. Camps by night.

Begin with yoga and breakfast ashore, then head to Koh Rang's reefs. If the sea allows, gather the boats in a daytime star. Mobile signal may disappear for a couple of hours: a good moment to look around.

By evening, Koh Mak and Camp Day. Crews open their camps with music, food, games and little rituals. A night-time star formation depends on calm seas.

0426 JanuaryKo MakNowhere to rushAn island day
Koh Mak — Nowhere to rush

Stay on Koh Mak. Walk, hire bicycles or a buggy, visit local cafés and get to know the island and its people. Everyone has time to make the day their own.

Fresh sushi, a massage and long conversations in the evening. One of those days when a journey becomes personal.

0527 JanuaryKo Mak → Ko KoodSails and a white eveningFriendly racing · White Party
Koh Mak → Koh Kood — Sails and a white evening

Head to Koh Kood. With suitable wind, we hold friendly races: yachts against yachts, catamarans against catamarans. Your skipper will help you join in, even if it is your first time at the helm.

In the evening, White Party on the beach. White outfits, music by the water and a warm sunset. Sleep in a sheltered bay.

0628 JanuaryKo Kood → Ko MakFrom the jungle to Vice CityWaterfall · costume party
Koh Kood → Koh Mak — From the jungle to Vice City

Take the tenders into a mangrove river, walk through the jungle to Klong Chao waterfall and swim in fresh water. Afterwards: a Thai café, the beach, a massage or swings above the water.

In the afternoon, return to Koh Mak. Watch sunset at anchor and dress for Vice City: costumes, neon and our big party.

0729 JanuaryKo Mak → Ko ChangOne more day togetherReturn · closing
Koh Mak → Koh Chang — One more day together

There is time in the morning for a massage, ice cream or a swim beside rocks and grottoes. Then the whole flotilla heads to Koh Chang. Wind permitting, under sail and in beautiful formations on the water.

Our closing evening. Hugs, photographs and conversations about where we will meet next.

0830 JanuaryKo Chang → BangkokHome comes with usDisembarkation · transfer
Koh Chang → Bangkok — Home comes with us

Return the boats in the marina and prepare for the journey. Transfers back to Bangkok depart from 09:00.

Plan return flights from 19:00 onwards, after confirming your transfer with us. You can stay in Thailand a few more days: we will happily share ideas.

Our route stays flexible. Wind and sea conditions may change the order of stops. Star formations and races take place only when conditions allow.

06 / LIVING ON THE WATER

Wake up.
Dive in.

Wake in a bay. Swim before breakfast. Raise the sails and move on.

We stay in twin-occupancy cabins. Boats have showers, toilets, kitchens and spaces for the whole crew to gather. Unpack into the cabin lockers; large suitcases can stay in the marina.

Try sailing with your skipper. Ashore, discover small Thai cafés, order seafood and take your time.

11 / A FEW MORE THINGS

Your first time?
You're welcome here.

Have another question? Message Anton. We can discuss the boat, crew and whatever matters to you.

Ask a question ↗
Can I come on my own?

Yes. Many people arrive solo. We will help you choose a boat and crew, and get acquainted in a shared chat before the trip. Couples and groups of friends are welcome too; we will discuss cabin arrangements.

Do I need sailing experience?

No. Every boat has a professional skipper who will brief you, explain life on board and help you try the sails and helm. Taking part in sailing is optional.

Do I have to join every party and race?

No. Dance, sail, read on deck or explore an island. Shared events bring us together, and everyone chooses their own rhythm.

What if I get seasick?

Island passages are short and we choose sheltered anchorages, but it is still the sea and seasickness is possible. If you are sensitive to motion, ask your doctor about an appropriate remedy beforehand and let us know.

How do meals and daily life work?

We prepare some meals on board and eat others in local cafés and restaurants. Shared provisions, group restaurant bills and fuel come from the boat kitty, estimated at €390 for the week. Tell us about dietary needs in advance.

Can I bring my own yacht or skipper?

All nine boats are already booked for our flotilla this year. You cannot join with a separate boat or skipper, but you can book places on one of our yachts or catamarans.

Can I create my own camp?

Of course. Bring something you love: music, tea, a game or a creative practice. A small event for your neighbours is already a camp. Send Anton your idea and we will work out how to bring it onto the water.

Could the route change?

Yes. This is a plan for the week, not a fixed schedule. Skippers choose passages and anchorages around the wind and sea. Star formations, races and shore events take place when conditions allow.
