Customer Review
”Sawadee Fantastic (Fasai). Great boat with great staff. Fits a huge amount of divers without getting crowded. Very modern and luxurious. The Similans are awesome as expected, really got the impression the staff knew where to find all the good stuff. Think we had 7 dive masters with us in total.” Recommended for: Boat size, Modernity, Staff.
Customer Review ByMikael A, from: Sweden scored the MY Sawasdee Fasai 10 out of 10; Review courtesy of Liveaboard.com, for more reviews and information click here: MY Sawasdee Fasai.
”Excellent Liveaboard experience. The organisation on the boat was excellent. The comfort in the cabin was far better than expected. (Double cabin for myself & my partner) The bathroom was roomy too. A big plus was an excellent cook. I have food allergies and so did many others and the cook catered 100% for everyone. I had heard from other liveaboards that food was limited and you had to be quick. On this liveaboard this was not the case. Enough food for everyone and very tasty. Every dive site had something different for you to look at and the Dive guides knew exactly where to go to see new and exciting things. Recommend West Coast Divers to anyone booking a liveaboard.” Recommended for: Comfort, FOOD, Dive sites.
