MV Pawara’s Cabins
Pawara features two air conditioned master cabins with a queen bed and en suite bathroom located on the main deck. She has four air conditioned deluxe cabins with twin bunk beds and en suite bathrooms also located on the main deck. She has four standard bunk bed air conditioned cabins, also en suite, located on the lower deck. Finally, for the money-savers, she has three budget bunk bed air conditioned cabins with shared bathrooms also on the lower deck. These cabins are best for young, short people. There is not much room and you share the bathroom with the crew.
MV Pawara’s Destinations
The MV Pawara operates in Thailand from October until May each year. Similan, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock trips are four-days and four-nights. She is available for individual bookings as well as charter cruises. Individual prices are listed below in the schedules. Please contact us for charter prices. All departures are from Phuket, Thailand, serviced by Phuket International Airport. The vessel departs from Thap Lamu, the port just north of Phuket. Transfers are arranged to and from your hotel or the airport to the boat on departure day free of charge. See the itinerary below for guest pick up times. Her sister ship, the MV Sawasdee Fasai liveaboard follows this exact same schedule you see below. So if for some reason Pawara is fully booked for your dates, we’ll try and put you on Fasai instead.
