The junk is a rustically built of wood with a combination of traditional details and modern technology. With a length of 25 meters and a weight of about 85 tons, this ship is one of the biggest and most comfortable junks in the whole of the south-Thailand sea.
The ship offers more than enough space with its 8 guest- and 2 crew cabins, a deckhouse, the Quarterdeck saloon and the three sundecks, for 16 guests and up to 6 crew members. The kitchen serves a great variety of Asian and European meals. The „DAUW TALAE“ complies with international security standard and is steered and navigated by its German owner and his Thai wife.
Cruise Area
The Andaman sea of Thailand comprises a nature and marine preservation park of around 15.000 square kilometers with about 3.500 islands. In this area you are able to watch birds such as tukans or sea eagles, which are only some of the endangered species which can be found there.
Most of the smaller islands are uninhabited and offer unimaginable coral- and sand beaches, which invite you for some great swimming. Gigantic and impressive limestone formations with mysterious stalactites/ stalagmites - caves and caves salience sometimes 350 meters vertically out of the water. Their bizarre forms seem to show stoned pictures of animals, made by mother nature.
Diving
The Andaman sea is one of the world's leading areas for diving. The Dauw Talae isn't an usual diving boat, but a cruise, which offers additional facilities for experienced divers. Non-diving guests are not disturbed by the activities performed by the divers. However, the ship does not offer a diving course- there are also no coaches on board. The crew actually wants to encourage diving coaches to put together their own groups and programs. Guests with expected experience can borrow diving equipment on the normal cruises.
