Dive Overview

The Andaman Sea side of Thailand offers the best diving. Thats basically all the way down the west coast of Thailand from the border with Burma to the border with Malaysia. That area includes Koh Phuket, Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, Koh Lanta, Koh Taratuo, the Similan Islands, Surin Islands, Richelieu Rock, Koh Bon, and Koh Tachai. The best time to dive this area is during the northeast monsoon from November to April although many areas can be dived year-round.

[See: Thailand Dive Travel Guide]

Accommodation Overview

Guests aboard the MV Smiling Seahorse can choose among the Standard Cabins, Deluxe Cabins, and Master Cabins. All the cabins are fully air-conditioned and offer an amazing view of the sea. A maximum of 16 guests can be accommodated comfortably.

The Standard Cabins are located on the upper deck. The cabins can be configured with a double bed and upper storage shelf or with two single bunk beds which are more suited for friends traveling together. There are also two large cubbies for extra storage. There are a total of two Standard Cabins for guests located towards the front of the boat.

The Deluxe Cabins are almost identical to the Standard Cabins, but come complete with an ensuite bathroom. There are four Deluxe Cabins, and they are located on the main deck.

The Master Cabins are also located on the main deck, towards the front of the boat. Ideal for couples who want a more intimate and romantic setting, these rooms come with a breathtaking panoramic view of the horizon. The two Master Cabins also come complete with an ensuite bathroom.
