Thailand liveaboard trips

are generally 4 to 7 day safaris leaving from and returning to
Phuket on Thailand's
west coast.
Thailand liveaboard diving is very popular and the quality of boats vary greatly from small wooden boats and sailing yachts to large motor cruisers.
The prices for diving in Thailand also vary greatly but you generally get what you pay for

and so if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Thailand liveaboards normally cost from around 150 -200 Euros a day for a decent boat dependant on such
things as
the size of the boat,

cabins, en-suite bathrooms
, air-con etc
. There are 2 main destinations visited by the
liveaboards in Thailand, the Similan islands in the north and
Hin Daeng in the south.
Similan islands diving trips to the north of Phuket generally last from 4 days and include diving at Richelieu rock, Koh Bon and Koh Tachai.
Hin Daeng diving safaris to the South of Phuket take place over the weekend and include diving in Koh Phi Phi and also some Koh Ha diving featuring some unusual macro and great caves.
Southern Thailand diving is a great experience as you get to dive Phi Phi when all the daily divers have gone home.
