star rating  Thai hospitality at its very best with a thriving marine life. - The Junk was my first time on a liveaboard and they've set the standard so high!

The boat carries upto 18 divers and we were a full house on... read more my trip. The crew on this boat goes above and beyond to make sure you're well rested, well fed and ready for the show the ocean this part of the world will put on for you.

Diving: I borrowed all my equipment on this trip and have zero complaints. Every item fit like it should and the crew would replace anything that felt even a little bit off even before asking. The crew on the Junk from Dr. Nitrox to the Cruise Director Brian (and absolutely the Dive Guides- Marco, Jai and Chok) are razor focussed on making sure you have a safe, enjoyable dive every single time. The waters are absolutely gorgeous with Richeliue Rock in particular being out of a fantasy. The visibility was excellent and marine life was so full we couldn't see past schools of fish! Expect thermocline and strong currents at almost all the dive sites but trust your dive guide. Marco was clearly very experienced and following his lead after Brian's detailed briefings allowed me to appreciate the surge diving experience. The dive groups were split up by experience to help make this easier as well. The group I was part of had 5 people ranging from 16 to 70 years old lead by Marco who is calm, knowledgeable and did everything he could to make sure we saw black tipped sharks, rays, turtles, octopii, barracuda , lion fish, scorpion fish, and appreciated the smaller wonders- schools of more fish than I can name in this review and corals.
Basically - excellent dive guides, beyond compare dive sites, great equipment for rent if you need it.

Food: The Chef and hostess are beyond compare. There's a drink each time you finish a dive and 5 meals a day. Every meal is a delicious mix of Thai and continental food with substitutions to accomodate anybody with dietary restrictions. The kitchen baked cookies are a special treat. Despite diving 4 times a day don't expect to lose weight on this trip.

Accomodation: The Junk has multiple cabin configurations. I stayed in the 3 bunk room. This wasn't a luxury cabin BUT it had everything you need. Air conditioning, clean beds, a shelf for you things, clean marine toilets and a hot water shower. The living quarters were clean and functional. Zero complaints despite sharing with strangers (who were amazing!). The community areas- sun deck, briefing room and table on Deck were great and kept dry. There's also a library on board for anybody who doesn't have a book.

The little things: My experience on The Junk was made special by the little things- the dinghey drivers who would take us to the closest drop off point and make sure we got in and out safely, the host crew who would help me with the wetsuit (bane of my life!), the numbered clips that helped keep track of my drying wet suit clothes and towels, the fresh water on the main deck to rinse off with, the focus punctuality and the dive leads' reminders to be respectful of marine life and fellow divers. Even before I started my trip Ben and Steve at the office who answered my bazillion questions from what to expect to how to get there from an island across the peninsular.

The junk was the experience of a lifetime and I couldn't recommend it more.

star rating  Phinisi Live aboard - I can not say enough great things about this experience.
The crew went above and beyond my expectations.
The food was fabulous, and the attention to presentation made every meal... read more worth looking forward to!
The dive staff was very safety conscious and made sure each guest was able to experience some of the best diving in Thailand. The filling of tanks and the care in which my dive gear was handled was much appreciated compared to other dive operations I have experienced.
The cabin accomodations were very comfortable, and the availability of a hot shower in my room made for a very enjoyable trip.
I would highly recommend this boat if you are considering a dive vacation in Thailand.
A special shout out to Neil ( the host and dive coordinator) and a special thanks to Kik (our group dive guide)

star rating  Excellence All-around - My husband and I just came back from a 10-day dive excursion on the Phinisi. The crew was superb! From the dive deck and underwater their attention was... read more fantastic. The food was out of this world delicious and everyone was attentive and kind. Our "cruise director" Neil kept everything and everyone running like a smooth machine. And the diving was magnificent. Our first time in the Andaman Sea and we considered it one of our best diving and liveaboard experiences ever. Kudos.
