Ocean Marina Yacht Club Pattaya has gained from a rule change that lets international yachts stay moored for six months, up from the previous 15 days. Mr Napong said Ocean Marina Yacht Club Pattaya can accommodate 380 yachts. With the positive signs for Pattaya's marine tourism industry, he is confident that marine tourism along Thailand's Eastern Seaboard will continue to show strong growth. Mr Finsten said marine tourism in Thailand's Eastern Seaboard will continue to grow, due to more international yachts arriving in Pattaya. Moreover, the government's Eastern Economic Corridor project is expected to further drive marine tourism, particularly in terms of visitor numbers.
