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!

A world-class diving adventure defined by incredible service and great vibes.
My time on the Sawasdee Fasai was an absolute delight from start to finish. Exploring iconic sites like Richelieu Rock and Koh Tachai was breathtaking, but what truly set this trip apart was the life on board. The crew went above and beyond to ensure we were well-taken care of, always greeting us with smiles. Between the great meals and the well-maintained, organized facilities, I could focus entirely on the diving and relaxation. It was a seamless blend of adventure and comfort.

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.

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.
