| Location: Phang Nga Bay, Phang Nga, Thailand |
| There are several reasons we use Fast Longtails rather than speedboats:
A — 2-cycle engines are the highest hydrocarbon polluters on the planet. An hour in a 240X2 speedboat equals the pollution of a V-8 car in its entire life.
Every year, two-cycle engines generate as much pollution as 15 Exxon Valdez disasters.
B — Fast Longtails are traditional in design, and you know you are supporting true local owner/captains.
C — Fast Longtails are almost as fast as speedboats, yet they use engines converted from cars and trucks.
D — You are not encouraging the invasion of mass tourism into the spectacular and secluded locations you visit.
E — Most important of all, this is Thailand. What are you doing in a Western-style gas hog 2-cycle speedboat!
