Description

Smiling Seahorse is a first class vessel with a traditional Similan/Thai feel and personalized service.

Venture to Thailand, "The Land of Smiles", and Myanmar aboard the Smiling Seahorse. These island paradises lie only eight degrees north of the equator and enjoy a tropical climate year round. For divers, the true treasures of the Andaman Sea are found around the Similan Islands, Richelieu Rock, and the Surin Islands, where the warm and clear waters draw large schools of tropical fish, manta rays and the awe-inspiring whale shark.

The Smiling Seahorse It's a 25 m motor vessel operating Burma liveaboard trips from the Port of Ranong. A maximum of 16 divers can be accommodated on board, meaning dives are done in small groups of up to four, as you explore the remote and pristine waters of Burma and Thailand.

The Smiling Seahorse aims to provide a personalized service, and with 12 attentive crew members, there is always someone on hand to assist you. Although this isn't a luxury liveaboard option, it certainly ticks all the boxes for a fantastic budget-conscious option, and you can be sure of a friendly atmosphere throughout your Myanmar Dive Safari Adventure.

The open-air saloon on the upper deck is the social hub of the boat. Enjoy meal times here, read up on the local marine life and chat to your fellow guests over a 'Sundowner' from the bar. There's also a huge Sundeck, where you can unwind on hammocks and loungers in the shade or sun.

There is a choice of standard, deluxe and master cabins on board, all with climate control and doors opening to the outside of the vessel for a sea breeze. The upper deck has two standard cabins with either one double or two single beds and shared bathrooms. The four deluxe and two master cabins, located on the main deck, have en-suite bathrooms and all cabins feature air-conditioning.
