Getting to know Pawara:
Welcome to Pawara Live-aboard website. It is our pleasure
to introduce to you this new modern Thai-style live-aboard
that will be providing you with a unique diving experience
for your trip to the Andaman Sea. The
name ‘Pawara’ is a Thai-Sansakrit word, which
means ‘Treasures of the Corals’. Pawara was
thoughtfully and delicately named by professor Anant Laulertvorakul
Ph.D. Thai from Chulalongkorn University, to reflect the
Thai lifestyle of its nature and the comforting environment
that the live-aboard will provide you.
Pawara is a brand new, one of a kind, custom-built,
luxury live-aboard diving ship that has only recently entered
the scene. She set sail for the first time on February 2006,
having been newly constructed by Phuket’s highly experienced
ship-builders. |
