I have to subscribe everything momo has already written about this trip.
We also had a great trip to Phi Phi on March 08 with Megumi and Richard. The very small group of people( i think Megumi told me there are never more than 16) made this excursion very private. The food (breakfast, lunch and dinner)was excellent !!
also a big compliment to the crew of the Songthai wich was very nice and helpful all day long.
No other snorkeling boats with many people at the snorkeling places. For two of us Megumi arranged a scuba dive at the same time, so it was possible to combine diving and sailing in one day.
Megumi and Richard did everything to make this trip unforgettable!
This is a trip i highly recommend if you want to enjoy a sailing and snorkeling trip in a very relaxed and private atmosphere.


Accessorily i have to say that as a golfer and a diver (with not enough time !!!) Megumi was extremly helpful in advance . She gave me so many suggestions when we mailed weeks before our trip to Phuket so that we could combine both sports...
THANKS MEGUMI
And so we also had a very special divetrip (two tank dive) to the Similan Islands with Megumi.
As we did this in one day it was a long way to go there,but absolutely worth it. We missed the big fish but the colourful
corals and the very special underwater scenery like an Aquarium was beautyful.


If we ever go back to Phuket we wan't miss the SONGTHAI sailing trip and diving with MEGUMI and RICHARD.

The Trip was the best Part of our Holiday in Phuket and the best Trip ever in Thailand. Even though I was one of the people who didnt want to go into the water I still had fun on the Ship.
Our great "Tour guide" and his wife gave the last finishing touches to the our trip. Even though it would have been better to hear some music during sunset it was a fun and Unforgottobale experience. We where visiting two snorkling sides ( for me studying and enjoyng the view sides or how richard would say " Good Meditation sides") A Top Secret no Tourist side and side that was known by some people even though they got their punishment by some mockeys for their bad behavior at the beach and in the water. The Food on Board... I really dont know what I should say. The Food was delicius and... You just need to try it on your own. Also the Trip showed me another "Face" of Thailand. It showed me Thailand is not just beer, bar, fun etc. it is also nature and relaxing. If I am back in Thailand with my Family maybe also Friends I will beg my Parents to go on this Tour again to see the sides again, to enjoy the Food again, to meet new People, "to study", " To meditate", and the most important thing see all the relaxed and happy people on Board.
Even though right now I still wouldnt like to swim. XD
Thank you Richard and Megumi and the Crew for this new and great experience.
Over all. Even though you dont want to go in the water you can have plenty of fun on board. The Crew always there to help and the boat offers everything you need.
See you next time.


P.S Richard would you like us to bring Stolen again in Autum???

A great trip run by a very professional couple Richard and Megumi. The boat your trip is on is a malaysian style wooden boat but with all the mod cons. It is called the " Songthai".

After being picked up from the hotel we joined the boat at Chalong pier. The trip caters for a small number of people, there was 12 on our trip, and there was ample room to get comfortable on the spacious deck. Soon after leaving the dock we were served a very good breakfast and commenced to our first snorkelling site who's location will remain secret as there was nobody else there and the crew would obviously like to keep it that way. All the rest of the cruisers and speedboats had sped past us on there way to the phiphi islands. This was the way to sail, nice and leisurely.
Following another totally different snorkelling location near the phiphi islands, where the scuba divers on board did a deep dive, assisted by Megumi a fully qualified diving instructor we had a very substantial lunch. After a short cruise to our final site, which was also different in nature to the previous two we had our last snorkel. Richard and Megumi certainly know how to pick their locations as all the sites were accessible to novices and the more able amongst us.

After leaving the islands we had a pleasant sail back to Phuket enjoying dinner and a couple of beers as the sun set. If you want to take time out, relax but still enjoy some good water activities then this is the trip for you, there was even a fully trained masseur aboard to ease those aches and pains, What was especially nice was the feeling that there was no pressure to do anything other than what you wanted to be it swim, snorkel, relax and sunbathe on the boat or even watch a film on the widescreen tv in the salon. Altogether a memorable day hopefully to be repeated.

We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your day out with us sailing and snorkeling at the Phi Phi Islands. Thank you for not mentioning the location of our secret spot and hopefully the site will remain protected from the usual uncontroled type of tourism that tends to ruin great locations over time.

We have introduced a clean up program due to suggestions from our guests and our environmentaly aware passegers are welcome to help out with trash collecting with the mesh bags that we have availiable now.

On "Earth Day" the 22nd. April we will participate in an underwater clean-up with our environmentaly aware scuba diving guests who will be joining us for the day.

Thanks again for the post and it's from listening to suggestions such as yours and others that we hope to inprove the tour for all of our guests.
