Thai Seaplane joins the Marine Department to shape sustainable seaplane legislation and safety standards in Thailand.

Charting the Future of Seaplane Travel in Thailand

On February 13, 2025, Thai Seaplane had the opportunity to meet with the Marine Department, led by Director-General Kritphet Siriphan, to discuss a shared vision: advancing legislation and operational standards for seaplane travel across Thailand’s waters.

This collaboration marks a meaningful step toward creating a safe, sustainable, and well-regulated environment for seaplane operations. Together, we’re working to establish clear guidelines that support both growth and safety—ensuring seaplane travel integrates smoothly with Thailand’s maritime infrastructure while promoting eco-conscious tourism and economic opportunity.

The conversation focused on developing practical frameworks, from defining designated water landing areas to enhancing safety for both aviation and maritime navigation. By setting thoughtful standards, the goal is to unlock the full potential of seaplane travel—not just as a convenient way to explore Thailand’s coastlines, but as a driving force for sustainable tourism and regional connectivity.

We’re proud to support Thailand’s long-term development goals and remain committed to working alongside government agencies to ensure the seaplane industry grows responsibly, with lasting benefits for the economy, the environment, and travelers alike.

The Marine Department’s support is a significant milestone in shaping Thailand’s seaplane future—elevating industry standards and paving the way for expanded water-based aviation experiences.
