The Junk goes to Hollywood, again!

Not content with her role as leading lady alongside James Bond The Junk, the traditional Chinese-Malay junk ‘June Hong Chian Lee’, is currently in Bangkok rehearsing for a new role in Hollywood’s next blockbuster.

Normally found sailing Thailand’s Andaman Sea in search of the very best diving this summer she has made the journey through the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea into the Gulf of Thailand to the Chao Phraya river and the heart of Bangkok.

Like any great leading lady she arrived early to allow time for a full makeover and to mingle with her co-stars before getting down to filming in-time for the 2009 release date. The name of the film is currently a guarded secret as are those of the leading actor and actress, both household names.

The Junk will be back in the Andaman Sea in time for our first scheduled safari of the new diving season in October. Before that however she will go through a full refit with many additional features including Wi-Fi in the salon for digital photographers/videographers to display their work on the ship’s monitors.

H2O’s Daniel Le Merle believes The Junk is the only way to dive the Andaman Sea

‘Hollywood chooses The Junk because she offers them something quite unique. A combination of the romance of a bygone era with modern day amenities. These are the things our diving guests experience on every safari.’
