* The Similan Islands are a group of 11 islands located in the Andaman Sea, on the southwest coast of Thailand. This archipelago is part of Mu Ko Similan National Park and is one of the most famous diving spots in the world, thanks to its amazing coral reefs, rich marine wildlife and crystal clear waters. Koh Bangu is known for its multi-level diving sites with large boulders, caves and reefs. Diving here offers a variety of marine life, including rare species of fish and corals. The island also attracts tourists with its picturesque beaches and snorkeling opportunities. Koh Similan is the largest island of the archipelago. It is famous for the unique shape of the boulders, beautiful beaches with soft white sand and dive sites with vibrant coral reefs. The island also has a symbolic rock "Sail Rock" and beautiful hiking trails. Koh Hin Pusar, known for its "Elephant Stone Head" (a boulder formation resembling an elephant's head), is a popular diving and snorkeling destination. Underwater caves and reefs are rich in marine life and offer amazing landscapes for underwater photography. Koh Miang, also known as Island 4, is notable for its magnificent beaches and tropical vegetation. There is a ranger station, a small campground and basic facilities for visitors. The island serves as a gateway for many diving excursions and is ideal for bird watching and nature watching. Visits to the Similan Islands are seasonally limited, usually from October to May, to protect the local ecosystem and marine life. It is important to keep in mind that the infrastructure here is minimal in order to minimize the human impact on this natural paradise.
