Sleep on board and wake up at the islands before the day boats arrive.
The way to really have the islands to yourself: anchor in an empty bay, sleep on board, and be at Maya Bay or the Similans before the crowds. Multi-day routes link Phi Phi, Krabi and Phang Nga, or head north to the Similans in season.
Good for: Families and groups who want the full liveaboard experience.
