15 knots of wind every day, amazing scenery, and kind locals are a few of the treats in store for South Africans looking for sailing adventures in an exotic destination – and it won’t break your bank either.
For an easily ticked off bucket-list experience, the crystal-clear waters of Phuket in Thailand beckon.
