“Excellent dive trip, everything was spot on. We are lucky enough to have dived extensively and have done at least 12 Liveaboard trips across Asia and in Egypt. This was a the best dive trip we have done. Every aspect ran to plan and as expected. Josh (13 years old) was treated brilliantly and very well looked after. Thailand Liveaboards provided a very responsive and professional service. I can't recommend strongly enough. James”

“Although I have completed many dives, this was my first live aboard experience. I can say that it exceeded my expectations in virtually every way. The Sawasdee Fasai is a fine boat with a good dive deck, plenty of open air space, saloon space and cabin space. The food was very good, varied and plentiful. Kwan runs a tight ship and she did well herding the many divers. Michael was a great dive guide, in the many crowded dive sites he always seemed to find a slightly different rout that was less busy. The dive sites were terrific despite the less than perfect visibility. More than ample fish, coral and other sites. I had a most enjoyable time.”

“This was my fourth liveaboard, first in Thailand. Diving guides and crew were great! Boat is nice, it has nice indoor living room, although this is the first time that I was on the boat that does not have indoor dining room, so we were eating on lower sundeck (the one above diving deck), which was not the problem. Also just a small environment concern, this boat is often leaving black oily trace in the water from engine exhaust, I don't know if this is normal but I haven't seen it on other liveaboards I have been on.”
