The Junk

The Junk liveaboard is an exquisite historical vessel measuring 33 meters in length, which caters to liveaboard diving holidays in Thailand. Originally constructed in 1962 as a sailing cargo vessel, it underwent a comprehensive overhaul and refitting in 1997 to transform into the vessel it is today. Crafted from the finest Asian teak wood, recognized as Takien Tong, The Junk is a three-mast junk vessel boasting 330 square meters of sails, blending both functionality and aesthetics.

Guests have the privilege of selecting from a library of books, videos, and mini discs to amuse themselves while not submerged in the water. A generously sized flat-screen TV is thoughtfully placed for optimal viewing, ensuring a relaxing experience in the saloon area.

The dining experience aboard The Junk is truly top-notch. Offering a diverse range of dishes encompassing Asian-themed cuisine and more traditional Western-style options, guests have an abundance of choices to savor. In addition to the regularly scheduled meals throughout the day, fresh fruit and extra snacks are perpetually accessible. These delectable meals are served in the open-design saloon, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding oceans through its many windows as guests indulge in the exceptional cuisine onboard.
