A Fantastic First Liveaboard Journey to the Similan and Surin Islands
This was my very first liveaboard trip and also my first time exploring the Andaman Sea, including the breathtaking Similan and Surin Islands. The entire experience was truly fantastic, thanks to the amazing crew who made everything smooth and enjoyable. The crew were incredibly attentive and helpful, assisting with every dive—from setting up equipment to guiding the descent and ascent, and doing it all over again with patience and care. All equipment was organized neatly in properly allocated spaces, which made everything feel safe and well-managed, something I really appreciated. The food on board was delicious and perfect for refueling after each dive. It truly felt like the classic “dive, eat, sleep, repeat” lifestyle—simple, fulfilling, and unforgettable. I would definitely recommend this liveaboard to others, and I sincerely hope to return again for more diving adventures!

Rustic charming trip
A very characterful boat, loads of charm , great crew The food was excellent and plentiful, (the only minor thing was organizational: they always served after our last dive immediately, so people arrived 30-60 mins late for dinner and scattered inside and outside, which didn’t result in a common supper experience) which was a bit strange. At some point dive guiding was a bit inattentive but we could arrange a satisfactory change after raising the issue y It’s an old boat but charming and i would always come back!

Awesome Liveaboard Trip on The Junk!
Just got back from the most amazing liveaboard trip on The Junk, and I have to share how awesome it was! From the moment we stepped on board, we felt right at home thanks to the friendly crew who were super welcoming. Seriously, the crew was fantastic! They were always around to help with our dive gear, answer questions, and just make sure we were having the best time. Their laid-back vibe made everything feel so relaxed and enjoyable. Let’s talk about the food—wow! Every meal was a treat. We had everything from fresh seafood to local dishes, and it was all so delicious. It was the perfect way to refuel after a day of diving. Plus, sharing meals with everyone on board was a great way to bond and swap stories. Our dive guide was a rock star! Super knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the underwater world, they made sure we were all comfortable and safe while exploring. Each dive was well-planned, and the sites were absolutely stunning. The vibe on The Junk was just perfect. It was super chill and friendly, which made it easy to connect with other guests. Whether we were lounging on the deck, enjoying a drink under the stars, or diving in the beautiful waters, every moment felt special. Overall, my trip on The Junk was an unforgettable adventure filled with great service, tasty food, and an awesome atmosphere. If you’re looking for a unique experience, I can’t recommend this enough. I can’t wait to go back for another adventure! Thanks, The Junk, for an incredible trip!
