MV Thai Sea Liveaboard

MV Thai Sea is a comfortable lower budget liveaboard that dives Burma's Mergui Archipelago as well as the northern dive sites in Thailand's Andaman Sea such as the Surin Islands, Richelieu Rock and Kon Bon.

Because she departs from Ranong on the Thai/Myanmar border she has the flexibility to run shorter trips that the Phuket based boats can't offer.

MV Thai Sea is owned and operated by French couple Franck and Camille who share their passion for diving this area with all their guests. They limit each trip to a maximum of 12 divers to ensure a personalised service.

MV Thai Sea will suit divers who want to dive Burma on a short trip or on a budget.

1 Double cabin.

3 shared bathrooms with hot water plus 2 showers at the back of the boat plus seperate toilets.
