The New & Best Way to Transfer Money to Other Countries
We are delighted to announce that we can now offer our customers a new (and excellent) way to make payments from around the world. Transferwise is our latest option for booking payments and we are now able to offer our guests this extra option in order for them to keep exchange rates and bank fees to a minimum. We have customers from countries on every continent, and each of them has their preferred choice of how to pay, as well as there being some restrictions from banks or country-controlled internet access.

Most of our Similan diving boats sail from Khao Lak, but Phuket is the better-known place for international tourists. How can you choose which place to come to, and how & when you should come? This article explains the advantages of each place, and gives vital information, help & advice for divers.
Paying a gratuity tip to the staff and/or boat crew after a scuba diving trip is quite common, but not mandatory. In fact, if it was mandatory, it wouldn’t be a tip. The correct amount to pay scuba diving liveaboard tips for staff & crew varies on so many factors. These include how happy you are with the service, what kind of trip it was and how long it was, and where you’re diving. Where in the world you come from will also help your decision and judgement, too.
Yet another diving season has come to an end at The Similan Islands (inc. Richelieu Rock). For us and many others it was the best season so far. Hundreds of happy guests enjoyed day trips and liveaboard cruises, sharing their time underwater with some fantastic marine life.
The 2014-2015 diving season at The Similan Islands & Richelieu Rock started well, and just keeps getting better. With a record number of happy guests booking and enjoying their scuba diving holidays with us at Similan Diving Tours, now is the time to explore the best diving locations in Thailand. The holiday peak periods are over, but the reefs and marine life are still under the surface of the crystal-clear tropical water, waiting for you to pay them a visit.
Customers wanting the best prices, selection and service sometimes have to make a compromise, but not when choosing a Similan Islands & Richelieu Rock liveaboard diving safari or day trip with Similan Diving Tours. We offer trips on nearly 40 boats, and are proud of our better-then-the-rest customer service. In addition to our prices being unbeatable, all liveaboard guests receive a free t-shirt, which is waiting for them on the boat.
Some Similan liveaboard trips are either too long or too short. You can’t please everyone all of the time. Fixed schedules are easy to manage for the dive centres, but the guests’ convenience and happiness is vital. MV Oktavia has a novel solution to keeping everyone happy, by offering 2, 3 4 & 5 night diving safaris at Thailand’s best dive sites.
Not only is a liveaboard diving safari the best place to take part in a PADI or SSI course, it’s also the cheapest. Those learning to dive or advancing their level are in the perfect environment to concentrate on and enjoy scuba diving, and are free from distractions such as late nights out. In addition, the prices are unbeatable. Because the diving itself has already been paid for in the price of the cruise, and because the instructors are already on board and working, the price customers pay is incredibly low.
