{"product_id":"north-to-south-andaman-sea-thailand-liveaboard","title":"North to South Andaman Sea Thailand Liveaboard","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 8-night Thailand liveaboard joins the northern and southern halves of the Andaman Sea in one trip, sailing from north to south. Departing Thap Lamu, you start in the Surin Islands and at Richelieu Rock, work south through Koh Tachai, Koh Bon and the Similan Islands, then cross to Koh Haa, Hin Daeng and Hin Muang before a final day of diving around the Phi Phi Islands and a finish at Chalong on Phuket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe underwater landscape changes almost every day. One morning you are threading between granite boulders the size of houses, the next you are hovering over a soft coral pinnacle searching for seahorses and harlequin shrimp, and later in the week you drop onto lone rocks in open water where barracuda circle and a manta can drift in from the blue. Between dives, limestone karsts and forested islands slide past, and dolphins often surf the bow wave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrip Highlights \u0026amp; Key Regional Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichelieu Rock: a horseshoe-shaped pinnacle covered in purple soft coral, home to pharaoh cuttlefish, tiger tail seahorses, harlequin shrimp and all five Andaman Sea anemonefish species.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKoh Bon and Koh Tachai: the route's best chance of manta rays, with whale sharks most likely from late January to April.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimilan Islands: boulder dives with canyons and swim-throughs at sites such as Elephant Head Rock, Christmas Point and North Point, where whitetip reef sharks and schooling giant trevally patrol.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHin Daeng and Hin Muang: two isolated pinnacles dropping beyond 70 metres, known for manta and whale shark encounters, fields of anemones and walls of soft coral.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKoh Haa: caverns, chimneys and chambers at The Chimney and The Cathedral, plus a sheltered lagoon for night dives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurin Islands: some of Thailand's richest hard coral, turtles and bumphead parrotfish, with the chance to visit a Moken village ashore.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 26 dives over 7 diving days, with sunset or night dives where conditions allow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Master Liveaboards","offers":[{"title":"Classic Quad","offer_id":68070665814383,"sku":null,"price":4205.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Double\/Twin","offer_id":68070665847151,"sku":null,"price":5607.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Twin","offer_id":68070665879919,"sku":null,"price":5607.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1737\/1247\/files\/north-to-south-andaman-sea-thailand-liveaboard-phuket-1.jpg?v=1794358893","url":"https:\/\/divebookings.com\/es\/products\/north-to-south-andaman-sea-thailand-liveaboard","provider":"Dive Bookings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
