Magical!
What an amazing experience with Sawasdee Fasai! I loved every minute. The diving was beautiful with great visibility and variety of underwater life. Loved the corals and the abundance of fish especially at Richelieu Rock which is now one of the best dives of my life. All the dive sites were great however and I enjoyed the trip immensely. The crew were fantastic and run a great operation. Nothing was too much for them, always helpful and smiling. Food was delicious. Budget cabin was more than adequate. Shout out to Rob our excellent divemaster who took great care of our group and always pointed out interesting things underwater. Would recommend this trip 100%.

Every time again
It was our second time on this boat on a liveaboard – and this time everything was absolutely convincing. The organization was once again top, the crew professional, helpful and present at all times. The diving spots were excellently chosen and again offered unforgettable and impressive experiences under water. For us, it is confirmed: This was certainly not our last liveaboard on this boat.

An incredible trip that you will not forget!!
The Sawasdee Fasai liveaboard is brilliant all around. No corners are cut in the guest experience, and it has been a blissful journey from beginning to end!! Food on the boat is extremely good and freshly made every day. All meals and snacks are served such that everyone has enough, and the kitchen crew makes sure everyone enjoys the food, suggesting alternatives otherwise. The boat has unlimited sea sickness tablets and they are really effective so don't fear being sea sick. I was too the first day but just 3 pills a day completely removed the nausea and illness. Dive staff is very kind and helpful, be it in equipping, de kitting- there will always be someone to help you if you struggle with something. The boat is designed for these diving trips, and it really shows. Coming from dive centers optimized for diving efficiency, such as RSDS in Egypt, I was surprised to see how much more optimized this was: the cylinders never move, the longest bit you'll have to carry it is from the kitting up bench to the end of the boat from where we jump off. Fills are generous, and you can ask for more to get 220 bar ! Nitrox is free onboard, a huge plus given the intensity of the cruise, and 15 L tanks are cheap. Rooms are functional, was in a budget cabin, quite small but given the price nothing to complain about. The top deck offers beautiful viewing of the ocean and islands as well as nice nap times with the many sun loungers and bean bags:)) Being able to go to sail rock on Similan Islands by foot (unhabited island) was nothing short of superb and really enhanced the experience, not to mention the numerous islands you will see, the breathtaking landscapes coming up from the dives, and the one in a lifetime sunset the night before arriving to Richelieu Rock. Overall, the experience is really curated for the guest, even coming down to age partitioning- our boat Fasai had the younger people on it and Pawara some older guests which was perfect for meeting people:)) Will 100% do again in the near future, can only recommend. Words can't describe how nice this trip is!!!!

Would book again
I am happy with my choice and would book Sawasdee Fasai again. The crew was amazing: Great cooking ladies, great boat crew who supported us for the diving gear, great dive masters and the trip director did a fantastic job with all the briefings and made a lot uf fun. The dive sites we visited were okay, missed the mantas and whale sharks, but what can we do. The food was so delicious and always good choices. You will never be hungry. The rooms are small, there is not so much comfort, but that's what you deal with on a lifeaboard. Otherwise boat well kept, clean.
