CHON BURI – The Cruise ship Costa Victoria, operated by Italy-based Costa Crociere Co, plans to use Laem Chabang in Chon Buri Province as its maritime tourism hub to serve cruise ship travellers in Asean.

It is the company’s first cruise ship coming to Thailand needing a berth at Laem Chabang’s deep-sea port.

Buhdy Bok, president of Costa Group Asia, said Thailand has long-term tourism potential as a sourcing and destination market for maritime tourism.

“Costa Victoria is one of our cruise liners pioneering the Asia-Pacific region.We will continually expand in Thailand by launching our first home port cruises from Laem Chabang,” he said.

Costa Victoria captain Giovanni Cosini said Thailand boasted one of the fastest-growing tourism industries in Asia-Pacific.

He also believes that Costa Victoria will play an essential part in serving rising demand for both Thai and international tourists seeking to enjoy maritime tourism in the near future.

Mr Cosini said Costa Victoria will be cruising for over four nights to explore the destination route stretching from Sihanoukville in Cambodia to Phu Quoc in Vietnam.
It will then move on to Koh Samui in Thailand before returning to Laem Chabang.

It would be interesting to watch the Thai sort out landing up to 2000 passengers from the ship's tenders at Nathon pier and all those pig trucks and ripoff taxis carting them off to the Lamai cock and pussy rocks. I should think the kill rate could be quite high.

Absolutely spot on.


With Thai about to become the Lingua Franca of the World, it only makes sense that international tourists would come here simply to practice with the lucky native speakers that were fortunate enough to have been born here.
