While still running liveaboard trips to Burma, you can also enjoy the more unusual cruises running from Phuket to Langkawi in Malaysia, as well as Similans liveaboard trips to the best dive sites that the west coast of Thailand has to offer.
Most of Faah Yai's trips run to and from Khao Lak, with Phuket hotel transfers included, so there has never been a more convenient way to dive from this mid-range priced liveaboard, which has a reputation for great food and a friendly crew.
With the number of guests limited to only 10 or 12, and double or twin bed cabins with en-suite cabin facilities onboard, Faah Yai is designed for you to enjoy your privacy when you're not underwater.

| Testimonial: |
"I enjoyed the Faah Yai this past January. Our trip was special because I did a 2 week kayaking / snorkelling trip with on the Faah Yai (special charter) just before the diving trip, so we got to snorkel a lot of the pristine little bays tucked in amongst the islands. The coral there was the most amazing thing I've seen, ever. Made the lettuce coral garden at Ulong Channel in Pulau look like a tiny little scrap of nothing. Every kind of coral, beautiful, pristine, and HUGE.
The Faah Yai itself is not a fancy boat but extremely well kept and very comfortable. Waaaay better than our local CA dive boats. Staterooms have A/C, saloon doesn't. The crew is extremely friendly, Sunan's food is superb. I would go on the Faah Yai again if there weren't so many other great destinations waiting.
I didn't really have any preconceptions (about diving in Burma). I thought it was great, and that's right after a trip to Yap and Pulau the year before." - Tax Geek, USA ... |
