Would love to finally dive the Similan Islands or even some of the dive sites north of there but I've been told that the best dive sites are usually accessible only by liveaboards from Phuket. I traveling as a single diver and would prefer my own cabin. But I also know that single supplements charges tend to be 50 to 100% of double occupancy costs.
Just wondering if liveaboards , especially towards the end of the high season or during low season, ever have last minute spaces available and if so, will they be willing to waive the single supplement just to fill a cabin?
If the total cost for me becomes prohibitive because of the single supplements, I will have to do day trips but don't know if day trips are worthwhile there. I heard that day trips are possible up to the Similan Islands but not much more north of that.
