The two master cabins are the most spacious of all. Both master cabins contain a double bed, the perfect choice for couples. As with all cabins, they are en-suite with toilet, basin and hot water shower.
If you are looking for a unique Similan islands liveaboard adventure then the "June Hong Chian Lee" (a.k.a. The Junk) is the choice for you. At 33 metres in length and 8.5 metres in beam she carries up to a maximum of 18 guests.
Built in 1962 for charcoal transportation the Junk was part of a small merchant fleet that traded up and down the coastline of Burma to Malaysia. It was mainly used to transport charcoal made from mango wood. In 1985 it was restored and redesigned to serve as a classical yacht. In recent times she has been redesigned once more to act in her new role as a Similan liveaboard.

The Junk has six cabins in total, all on the lower deck: 2 master cabins, 2 triple bed and 2 quad bed. Each cabin is decorated in beautiful Thai style decor. All cabins are air-conditioned with en-suite facilities including hot water shower. Towels, shampoo and shower gel are also provided for your convenience.
The two master cabins are the most spacious of all. Both master cabins contain a double bed, the perfect choice for couples. As with all cabins, they are en-suite with toilet, basin and hot water shower.
The two triple cabins have one single bed and two bunk beds plus en suite facilities. These cabins are suitable for a group of friends or a family of three or also for individual travellers. Furthermore, they can also be hired as a private twin room for those desiring a little more privacy.
The two quadruple cabins have two sets of bunk beds plus en suite facilities. These are suitable for a group of friends or a family of four, or also for individual travellers.
The air conditioned inside dining area is large enough to seat everyone on the boat at the same time. All meals are served in this area buffet-style. All foods are freshly cooked with a mix of both Thai and Western cuisine. This area can also be used as a saloon for relaxing in between dives and also for preparing camera equipment and watching your "results" later on.
The main deck is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy this unique liveaboard. Take a siesta, read a book or just watch the world go by as you move through the water. You can even dine out here "al fresco". This area is generally shaded. A liveaboard experience unique to the Junk is the raising of her three sails. All in all a completely different liveaboard experience!
The main sun deck is also a great place for chilling out. This raised area at the bow of the liveaboard allows for wonderful views of the Similans Islands plus the stars at night. Take a cool drink after your dives and enjoy your time in paradise!
Unlike other Similans liveaboards, there is no dive deck as such on the Junk. Instead equipment is placed into a dinghy and you are dropped off at the dive site. Equipment is set up on the main deck prior to the dives. Staff will always be on-hand to help you with any needs or requests.

To help with the costs of reef protection and regeneration schemes, the Thai government has introduced a national park entry fee for all visitors to the Similans and Surin islands of 500 baht entry per person plus an additional 200 baht per diver per day. Please note that the Similans Islands and Surin Islands are different national parks so an entry fee will be required for each park and each time you enter. For the 4 day/4 night trip including Richeieu Rock you enter the Similans Park twice and the Surin park once. Park fees would currently be as follows:
Disclaimer: As this is a government fee, we take no responsibility for any changes.
