Similan Islands | The Most Beautiful Thai Islands
Рет қаралды 59,440
Күн бұрынThe Similan Islands might be the most beautiful Thai island that we have ever visited. They are a cluster of 11 Thai islands in the Andaman sea known best for their gorgeous blue waters, tropical marine life, and unique rock formations.
The islands are protected as part of a national park and can only be visited between the months of November and May. The islands are closed June-October for wildlife conservation, making a visit to the Similan islands even more special.

Coconut Beach is so secluded! Looks like you guys had the whole place to yourselves! We love it! Thanks for sharing!

Wow the water looks unreal! I can see why it's a popular spot for visitors especially since it is only open for a few months of the year. The conservation efforts to preserve the islands are awesome. I think that little fish with a horn on its head is called a unicorn fish...I may be wrong. The rock formations are so unique. The climb to the viewpoint barefoot was so worth it. The resort you guys stayed at is amazing...I'm definitely taking note of all this the next time we visit Thailand!

That's so cool that they dedicate so much area for conservation/preservation! I wish more areas of nature were preserved as well as that. That seems like a great system to only allow people to visit at certain times. It certainly doesn't look like there was a lack of demand for visiting! The islands look like they are absolutely beautiful. Such incredibly blue water and white sand beaches
@LucasWorldTravel 3 жыл бұрын
We were really impressed with how they put preservation regulations in place. It was not always that way and year round tourism was killing a lot of the coral. The islands look vibrant and healthy now though because of the limits they have put on tourism.

The Similan islands are so stunning, cant believe how crystal clear the water looks, its like living in a post card..hehe. The snorkeling was incredible and all that you got to see was so very dreamy. The price for your trip with breakfast and lunch is so good and this is one of the reasons we would love to visit as it seems so affordable for all. Your accommodation was superb and again.....so cheap for what you get. Thank you so very much for showing us, the beauty and for also letting us all know, that we all can do this, as the cost is fantastic, to see such beauty. ONE LOVE

What a beautiful group of islands! it's cool that they are chosing to protect the beauty by limiting when they are open for tourism and restricting it to a few months of the year, not the easiest thing to do for many places that rely on toursm but it's definitely necessary as some places have seen a lot of negative impact from that.

I have seen so many videos from here. I planned to do a liveaboard and do some diving around the islands but of course Covid happened last year. In thai, the word "Koh" means island but confusingly, the 'K' is actually a g sound, so it's Goh. The colours of the sea are just incredible, I'd love to visit this tour.

Yes the snorkeling is better on Surin as the marine life is more interesting and the coral is more colorful. However, the Similan islands are prettier as the water is bluer and the rock formations are really cool. So they offer different things.
