ABOUT THE LIVEABOARD
The Junk is a historic liveaboard that offers a unique experience and combines the charm of a traditional wooden ship with modern comforts while taking divers on adventures around the Similan and Surin Islands. The Junk accommodates 18 divers in 6 fully air-conditioned cabins, each with en-suite bathrooms and hot showers. Choose from private, three-berth, or four-berth cabins to suit your preferences. The boat has a shaded dive deck, personal set-up areas, and the option for Nitrox diving.
This 33-meter authentic wooden sailing vessel has its claim to fame: It has been used in several films, including James Bond’s “The Man With The Golden Gun” and “Swiss Family Robinson.”
Enjoy buffet-style meals with fresh local ingredients and warm Thai hospitality. When not diving, unwind in the air-conditioned salon, watch a movie, or explore nearby islands on a kayak. Encounter majestic mantas, playful reef sharks, and a kaleidoscope of tropical fish, making each dive an unforgettable experience. The Junk promises a journey filled with unforgettable moments above and below the waterline.
