I can highly recommend after doing three trips onboard!
This was my third trip on the Sawasdee Fasai and will definitely book again! If the weather allows it, you can do 4 or even 5 dives at Richelieu Rock (my favorite) and also a few on Koh Tachai (my second favorite). The last night they do a BBQ and small party on the upper deck which is super nice!

Would do it all again in a heartbeat!
My partner and I did this Livaboard in Dec 2025 and had the most incredible time. The trip was organised well, the diving was outstanding with great variety, the crew were lovely and helpful, the food spread was delicious with a variety of options (the also catered for dietaries very well). I completed my Advanced course and the instructor / guide (Mici) was absolutely amazing and an awesome teacher. I learnt loads and felt very safe. This was one of the best experiences of my life, thank you to all the crew.

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%.
