CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Amazing Five Day Trip with Perfect Service

"Thailand Dive and Sail answered all our emails pre-trip very promptly which was important in planning our trip. Not only did they book us with with a great dive boat ( MV Similan Explorer) for an AMAZING five night scuba diving trip along the Similan Islands, but they helped us book a hotel before and after our trip as well. Rick, one of the owners, is so accommodating, providing advice and translating help above what was needed. The equipment we rented from them was top notch and pretty much brand new. Everything was very well organised. We would book with them again in a heartbeat."
