4 nights in Ao Chalong and 7 nights onboard the MV Mermaid I

e had a lovely holiday thanks. The price of the holiday was just about reasonable in terms of value for money. The ground organisation, transfer pick-up, hotel check-in and general communication were all very well organised. The hotel suited us very well. It was nice and quiet with good food and friendly staff. The liveaboard was very well run, great food and comfortable cabins. A well organised holiday. Mermaid 1 is a very comfortable liveaboard with great food.
