Our trip was amazing! Great dive sites, wonderful crew and very organized boat! Brain was awesome and kept everything fun and running smoothly. and our dive leader Jai was great! They had tons of good food, which is always great when diving alot and were good with food allergies. We would definitely go again.
It was an amazing trip! The staff was great and they made us feel very comfortable from picking us up until they dropped us at the airport. Everything was very well organised. Food was delicious! All authentic Thai flavours. The dive guides were really experienced and made the diving experience extremely enjoyable. Brian, the cruise director was in top of every detail. I cannot recommend this not enough if you are looking for a unique experience in a very special boat!
Starting with the crew—they truly made the trip unforgettable! Their high-quality service shone through in every aspect, from assisting with equipment and pre- and post-embarkation to providing outstanding support during dives, including helping with my camera gear. The food was excellent, and everything was incredibly well-organized, with activities running on time. The dives were incredible, showcasing amazing marine life, vibrant coral reefs, and fantastic visibility throughout the week. Don’t just take my word for it—check out my photos to see the beauty of this dive site for yourself!A huge thank you to everyone who helped organize and work tirelessly to create such an amazing experience aboard *The Junk*. I can’t wait to return!
Had a fantastic time upon the Junk. Brian, Chook and the crew really made a good dive trip great. The food was excellent, the guys really went the whole 9 yards making sure I could dive having injured my back.weeks before coming on board. I had assumed I’d be sun bathing all week while my mates dived, but the crews help meant I dived all bar 2 dives throughout the week. The diving is easy (compared to UK diving and some other more hostile areas for diving), but the reef and marine life is top notch. Sadly only got to do one dive on Richelieu Rock but that one dive was outstanding. The boat was smaller than the usual liveaboards I’ve been on, but comfortable enough and couldn’t fault anything while on board. Would definitely do it again, and definitely recommend it. Big thank you to Brian, Chook and the team.
My best liveaboard experience so far! This is the way to experience the wonders of the Andaman Sea. Hands down Best food in all of Thailand on onboard! Made friends for life. Also appreciate the support for me diving in sidemount configuration.
We were really amazed by the outstanding organization of that trip on the junk. It was an amazing trip with amazing people on board, but most important amazing stuff that care after you every second and make sure that your tree be smooth. They adapt the stops to the good places. The dive Masters know exactly where to go and definitely each will remain for my wife and me an outstanding experience among many other LiveAboard we do.
Fantastic trip on the Phinisi. I cannot praise the crew enough for their wonderful service and friendliness.I’d recommend everyone to book their next dive trip with these guys❤️
This is my second trip on board The Junk, which probably is a review in itself. The dive team, the deck crew and the other support staff are awesome. The food and service on board The Junk is probably the best that I have experienced on any liveaboard. The rental equipment is also top notch. Some of the dives, esp at Richelieu Rock, were underwhelming. However that was more to do with the visibility and the absolute mayhem in terms of the number of divers in the water and beyond their control.
It’s quite simple. If you want to discover the Andaman Sea and Richelieu Rock on a liveboard the Junk is your best choice!
This was my first liveaboard experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better time! The dive guides and crew are so amazing and friendly. The food seemingly never ends and is always served right on time after dives. This will certainly be a highlight of my entire trip. 10/10 would recommend.
It is hard to describe The Junk, it is not a 5 star hotel but is a completely 5 star experience. Being a converted working cargo boat, the accommodation is quite rustic but very spacious and has everything you need. When it comes to the diving, the crew and the food, things ratchet up a notch to a level that would shame a 5 star hotel. Professional, safe, helpful and everyone on board goes out of their way to improve your stay to leave you feeling very well looked after.
A food trip with diving between meals? Jokes aside, the diving here is fantastic, absolutely world-class. But so is life on board between dives. The Junk is a charming old ship far from a modern luxury hotel but it works and not least the kitchen. You are spoiled from the moment you step aboard, good food, good variety, a bit adapted to us Westerners but they also offer genuine Thai food.The diving is really great, even though the weather this time did not allow us to go everywhere. My dive guide was Jay and he really showed the way, without him I would not have even seen half of everything down there below the surface. It felt safe, secure and professional in every situation. A compliment also to the tour guide Brian who really showed that he had the situation under control. Take a trip with The Junk. You will love it.
This was my 2nd trip on The Junk and that in itself tells you something. Safety is my number one concern and this trip starts with a full drill not a simple – we’ll tell you what to do. Then there is the food it is awesome a mix of Thai and more global. I can’t eat seafood and they catered no problem my only concern was there was simply too much of it.I went for the diving and it didn’t disappoint, the crew are amazing and deliver whatever help you need
Never thought that a liveaboard would have been such an amazing experience. Add to that that I was doing that on The Junk and the experience was amplified 10 fold.This is the ONLY liveaboard you should consider if you are looking for great diving, a caring and attentive crew and some of the best food you are likely going to taste while in Thailand. But it’s not just about the diving or the great service, it’s about the adventure, the camaraderie, the new friends the feeling that you’ve experienced something truly life changing. The Junk delivers and delivers BIG TIME…!! A heartfelt thank you to all the amazing crew members who made this possible.??
The trip was exceptionally well-organized, leaving no room for confusion or boredom at any point. As a solo traveler on my first Liveaboard experience, I was initially concerned about feeling isolated. However, this couldn’t have been further from the truth—the crew and fellow travelers were incredibly welcoming, making it hard to say goodbye at the end. We shared countless adventures, meals, and laughter, creating memories that will stay with me for a lifetime. Food- I was truly impressed, as the experience exceeded all my expectations. The meals served each day were fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and catered to a variety of taste preferences, ensuring everyone was satisfied. Throughout the day, we were treated to three full meals along with a variety of snacks. 10/10. Diving- The diving experience gave me the perfect opportunity to refine the skills I had learned previously, with consistent feedback and encouragement provided throughout. Despite my initial anxiety about diving in unfamiliar waters compared to home, I never felt unsupported. The dive master, Ayako, was incredibly patient and reassuring, helping me build confidence and offering valuable tips to make my diving experience smoother and more enjoyable. We had an average of 3 dives a day but also some days of 4 dives. 10/10Cabins-I stayed in one of the four-bed cabins, which were always impeccably cleaned before we returned from our first dive. Each bed had a convenient storage area nearby, along with additional space underneath, making it easy to organize belongings. 10/10Crew- The crew truly elevated the entire experience with their incredible humor, warmth, and boundless energy. A special shoutout to Chok, who managed to make me laugh every single day—his positivity was absolutely infectious! 10/10Safety- Safety was Brian’s top priority. He consistently reinforced the importance of safety protocols, including the availability of pure oxygen on board. Brian made sure everyone was fully briefed on emergency procedures and was always available to answer questions. His calm and knowledgeable approach instilled a sense of trust and made the entire trip feel safe and well-organized. 10/10All in all, as you can see, I had an incredible time on this trip. If you’re looking for a sign to book it, this is definitely it!
I recently returned from an incredible six-night liveaboard dive trip aboard The Phinisi, exploring the stunning Similan and Surin Islands in Thailand. Although my time was brief, I found the experience exhilarating and would have loved to extend my stay, particularly at Surin Island. As a 71-year-old diver, I appreciated the outstanding support and assistance provided throughout the trip, allowing me to fully enjoy the underwater wonders despite my diminished strength. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

In February 2025, I embarked on a remarkable 4-day liveaboard adventure that showcased the stunning beauty of underwater life. The dives were incredibly accessible, revealing vibrant reefs teeming with massive schools of fish, truly highlighting the renowned allure of Richelieu Rock. I appreciated the thoughtful division of dive groups based on experience, ensuring that everyone enjoyed engaging and fulfilling dives tailored to their skill levels. The accommodations on the boat were comfortable, featuring spacious cabins and inviting areas to unwind. Each meal was a delightful experience, showcasing a variety of delicious dishes that kept things interesting. The crew was friendly and genuinely attentive, enhancing the overall experience. This liveaboard is a fantastic choice for divers of all levels, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
