Fee info regarding diving in Thailand

National Marine Park fees

At the Surin National Marine Park and at Similan National Marine Park, every diver or snorkeler has to pay National Marine Park fees. The fees will be paid at the head quarters of the National Marine Parks, sometimes the park rangers come by themselves by speedboat to the boat for collecting the fees.

Collecting of fees before departure

Prior to a departure of a day trip or a dive tour we will collect the fees from each participant, to make sure all fees are onboard before we will set off to the National Marine Parks.

Costs of the fees

The fee amounts are listed at each dive tour within our Price List

National Marine Park fees only can be paid in Thai Baht.

 

Kawthaung in Myanmar

entering the country

Kawthaung is the border town where you will enter Myanmar. Kawthaung is a small trading town where, if we have enough time and most guests like to do this, you can have a brief look around to get an impression or to buy some souvenirs.

Applying for a visa

stamp

The dive visa must be requested by the dive operator in advance. Therefore you have to send your personal and passport details in time. Upon entering Myanmar you should also make sure that you carry the documents, as described in this page, with you.

It's all about your passport

pasport

You may find it quite logical to bring your passport, yet we already have it happened that guests had forgotten their passports or left their passport at Embassies. Without a passport you won't be able to travel into Myanmar and also Thailand won't let you leave without an offical clarification.

departure

Also noteworthy is the Departure Card which you receive in your passport, upon your arrival at the Thai Immigration in Thailand. Often this card is tacked into your passport, sometimes it is given to you. It is very important to secure this card and to not loose it, because you will need it again when you leave the country.

Let's go diving!
