liveaboard diving Similans and Phuket Thailand: Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock, Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Koh Haa and Koh Phi Phi

South Andaman Boat D3

If you are looking for a truly unique liveaboard experience, this is your answer. A classic junk, previously used to transport wood, now now restored to her old glory to serve as a liveaboard in the Phuket area. Completely renovated to meet today's divers expectations, this boat offers a luxurious and unique diving trip to the Similans, Koh Bon. Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock and the Surin Islands.
From June till September this boat offers trips to the Racha Islands and the Phi Phi area: either 4 days/5 nights for both areas, or you can also choose to only join in for part of the trip: 2 days/2 nights Racha Islands or 2 days/2 nights Phi Phi Islands.

With a choice of cabins, all with bathrooms en-suite, and of course all modern safety and navigation equipment, this is something different from all other liveaboards. Spacious, comfortable and unique.
 
The ultimate experience for those who want something different: a liveaboard aboard a three mast sailing junk with 330 square meters of sails.   The boat has been completely restored, and now offers a different, luxurious cruise to the Similans, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock.
 
The spacious lounge also serves as a deluxe restaurant.   Both the shared cabins and the cabins with double bed are comfortable and have their own bathroom.
