The Thailand Aggressor, a
35m motor yacht with
a steel hull, brings a touch of class to the Thailand diving scene, bringing its trademark features of comfort and safety to the Andaman Sea. Operating 7 night Similan liveaboard trips out of Khao Lak in Thailand, the Thailand Aggressor sleeps up to 16 guests in twin or double
ensuite staterooms which come complete with
TVs and a hard drive of entertainment.
As you might expect of a boat from
this reputable fleet, there is a cosily-furnished saloon and
separate dining room on the main deck where you can relax in air-conditioned comfort. Entertainment facilities include flastcreen TV, DVD and music system plus library of books and magazines.
Internet is available via the satellite system at extra cost. On the sun deck you can soak up the rays, chill in the shade or
cool off in the tub. Enjoy
a glass of wine or a local beer as these are free of charge on this trip!
Photographers will appreciate facilities like the computer,
photo and video editing facility, multiple charging sites throughout the boat, as well as the dive deck's camera rinse tank and camera table. The emphasis on safety on this liveaboard leaves many other local options in the shade, complying with international SOLAS standards and featuring multiple radios, radar and signalling devices.
Liveaboards in the Mergui Archipelago are often simple affairs where visitors need to sacrifice luxury in order to partake in the pioneering atmosphere of diving Myanmar's waters. With the Thailand Aggressor you can have it all: great scuba diving, sites free of other divers, delicious food, comfort and safety.
