Similan Islands, also known as Koh Similan, is an archipelago of 9 islands which is located about 60 kilometers from the coast of Khao Lak. Since its part of the Mu Ko Similan National Park, the area around the islands is considered to be one of the best places in Thailand for snorkelling and diving.
The turquoise blue sea and the fine white sand beaches with the mighty granite rock formations are a real highlight of this archipelago. Through these breathtakingly beautiful landscapes and a spectacular underwater world, a day trip to Similan Islands from Phuket or Khao Lak is a must-do for many.
