A gem in the Similan Islands
The crew on board Pawara treat you like family from the moment you step on board, and are unrivalled in their hospitality. Food on board was often local cuisine which was absolutely delicious. Dive guides were knowledgable and made every dive unique and enjoyable.

Consistently positive and recommendable
Overall, extremely friendly and helpful crew. The Guids respond to wishes and put a lot of effort into the underwater search for what you want to see.The highlight of the diving was Richelieu Rock, which we found to be the nicer dive site compared to Similan Island.

Great experience on Sawasdee Fasai
We booked on Pawara but were switched to its sister ship Sawasdee Fasai, which is slightly bigger but followed the same dive sites. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, good food, spacious facilities. Similan Islands were fun to dive and the ocean conditions were mostly calm.

Excellent First Liveaboard
This was our first liveaboard, and it’s going to be hard to top. The diving in the Similans was incredible — every site felt unique and full of life. Mickey and the entire crew went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of the whole time. We were always well fed, well rested, and genuinely excited for every single dive. An unforgettable experience.
