The Junk Runs A Short And Very Sweet Thailand Liveaboard Around The Phi Phi Islands

The Junk or June Hong Chian Lee is a very unusual and very special Phi Phi island liveaboard. During the West coast of Thailand low season (May – October) she offers short and very well priced overnight trips to the dive sites around Phuket and Phi Phi.

As well as the fantastic Phi Phi Islands you’ll get a chance to dive Shark Point, Koh Doc Mai, Racha Noi, Racha Yai and the King Cruiser wreck, a great mix of reef, wall and wreck.

Known locally as ‘The Junk’ this elegant yacht gives a unique diving experience and she has starred in several Hollywood movies including James Bond’s The Man with the Golden Gun, filmed not very far away in Phang Nha Bay. Making the Junk the perfect Phi Phi Island liveaboard.

She has a spacious and atmospheric indoor saloon and generous deck space to relax on between dives. Food is served buffet style in the saloon and is absolutely delicious! The air-conditioned cabins are all en-suite and come in different configurations to suite every budget.

Diving is conducted from a dinghy which is accessed from a purpose built platform on the side of the boat, the ever present and helpful crew make this an efficient and easy process.
