MV South Siam 3

The Somboon Fleet of Liveaboards is the most flexible of all the Similan Liveaboards and with MV South Siam 3 you can go to the Similan for as little as a day trip with two amazing dives or stay as long as it suits your travel needs.

MV South Siam 3 is permanently based at the Similans with the exception of Wednesdays and Saturdays when it moves to to
Koh Bon. You can join MV South Siam 3 any day of the week and we provide a transfer to the liveaboard via a high powered speedboat so you do not miss any valuable underwater time travelling back and forth to the Similans.
