1. 7 days on liveaboard can easily mean 5 days of diving with minimum of 4 dives per day.
2. You won't be the only one on board as there will be other divers.
3. Thailand Average Monthly Wages | 2019 | Data | Chart | Calendar | Forecast
US$1.00 = Thai Baht 32.00
B15,000.00 = US$470.00 = US$16.00 per day.
4. If I were you, B1,000.00 each to the crew and the DM if I am happy with the service.
Stevenl : You beat me to that.
Huh? What boats are less than 10,000 baht?1000 baht per person seems like it would be higher than 10% for most of the thailand boats

10% is really high here.I usually do the 10%. i don't believe crew work any less hard than DMs, so if they collect the portion for DM and crew separately, then I tip based on numbers. Adjust lower as needed if the service was bad.
