A hybrid electric long-tail boat developed by a research team at Prince of Songkla University combines solar power, wind turbines, and lithium phosphate batteries, working alongside a diesel engine backup system. This design reduces fuel consumption, lowers noise pollution, and eliminates air emissions. The boat can reach speeds up to 12 km/h, making it ideal for eco-friendly tourism.
This development cuts fuel costs by over 99,000 baht annually and reduces carbon dioxide emissions. It is well suited for expansion to other coastal communities aiming to transition toward low-carbon tourism.
The first boat is now in operation at Laem Sak, Krabi Province, where visitors can take guided rides along a route featuring ancient rock paintings over 3,000 years old. This highlights Thailand’s innovative capabilities in promoting environmentally friendly tourism.
