MV Krishna 2 Itinerary
Krishna 2 offers trips to three different areas on Thailand's west coast.
Most trips are to the North Andaman, during the high season. These include 5-nights exploring Similans, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai & Richelieu Rock, or 3 nights to Koh Bon, Tachai & Richelieu. These trips usually start and end in Khao Lak, just north of Phuket.
During the summer, Krishna is based around Koh Lipe, and its trips sail from Pak Bara, in Satun.
Between high and low season there are a few trips to the 'south Andman' from Phuket.
The itineraries below are the most-common for each trip, but these can sometimes be changed for a number of reasons. Small changes are made due to weather & sea conditions, special marine life sightings, overcrowded dive sites, local-authorities' instructions, and the needs & requests of the paying guests. The safety & comfort of all guests is most important at all times.
