Similan Island

[Similan Islands]
Similan Islands are a cluster of several separate islands. The biggest of them all is Similan Island from which the rest of the islands are named. The islands are unique in their own ways. The most obvious ones are the numerous white sandy beaches and the long lines of seashores.

During the high season (between October and May), the water is calm, warm, and crystal clear here. From the distance above the surface, you can see the many groups of coral population living along the shallow waters. Even when you’re on the boat, you can also see the colorful fishes under the surface.

Oftentimes, when snorkeling or swimming, you’ll meet sea turtles feeding on the seaweed on the sea boulders that are many along the seashore and shallow waters. The sea turtles are mostly coming from the islands in the turtle conservation area. Those islands are however off limits to the public.

[Bays of Paradise]
When island hopping, you basically move from one bay to another. Each bay is different, unique, and a paradise of its own. But each bay has beautiful long white sandy beaches, clusters of boulders, and corals in the shallow waters. Aside from swimming or snorkeling, you can also stand on the boulders to get a good view of the whole bay.

[Lunch on the Beach]
The most important part of your lunch here is the open view of the beach and the blue water bright under the sun. The wind and the sand under your feet are warm. There is a dreamy sensation of being on this island paradise.

When you realize the lunch is finished, you can almost hear as if the white sandy beaches, the wavy clear water, and the colorful fishes are calling you back.
