Winnie - Eco Liveaboard Thailand


This unique Thailand liveaboard option is unlike any other liveaboard boat in the country. Winnie is only 15m long by 4.5m. She used to be a fishing boat in the Andaman Sea. During the 2008-2009 season she was lovingly converted by Thai craftsmen and Blue Guru staff into a beautiful dive boat.

She is now equipped with a fully functional kitchen, shower & western toilet facilities. She also houses our primary compressor, emergency oxygen & medical supplies.

For 2009-2010 she has also been kitted out with basic sleeping arrangements so that guest to Koh Phra Thong can sleep under the stars.

Why Winnie?


The residents of Koh Phra Thong are used to community living, talking and telling stories. The opportunity to share their homes, culture and food with guests from other countries is broadly welcomed.

By participating in the homestay program on Koh Phra Thong, guests to this tropical island will get to try wonderful new foods, learn how to make thatching or a squid trap and gain a greater understanding of these rural Thai communities. In return visitors will be contributing to sustainable tourism by injecting a vital income directly into the local economy at grass roots level.

Phra Thong Island Homestay


The Phra Thong Island homestay program is a great way for vistiors to the Andaman coast to gain a cultural insight into rural Thailand, try tasty Thai food and experience the warm hospitality of these remarkable people.

Baan Lions has more than 100 simple but modern homes which house the villagers. They have an open style which suits the importance of community to the Thai people. They all have bathrooms with running water and a shower. Power comes from private or community generators. This is normally available for a few hours from dusk until 10pm.
