The Junk Liveaboard, whose real name is The June Hong Chiang Lee, is known locally as simply 'The Junk', is actually a genuine, traditional Malaysian-built Chinese Junk. June Hong Chiang Lee became a dive boat after extensive renovations in 1995. Prior to this she was part of a merchant fleet. The Junk is now probably the most noticeable Liveaboard in the Similan or Surin Islands.
Additional en-suite cabins due to even further refurbishment with massive amounts of relaxation space make the Junk Liveaboard even more desirable. Sleeping under the stars or taking in the rays on her large sun deck are firm favourites between dives as well as relaxing in the large air-conditioned saloon. On The Junk Liveaboard you can even get a Thai massage upon request!
There is a huge dive platform on The Junk Liveaboard. This along with 2 large tenders (ribs) ensures you get dropped in on the best dive site entry point possible. And get picked up when you have finished your dive.
And if you want to dive Phuket before your Liveaboard Trip just let us know and we can schedule a Phuket day trip to get you back into Dive-Mode!
