The Similan Islands are one of Thailand’s well-known natural destinations. If your trip calls for island scenery and time by the sea, here are five reasons to consider this archipelago.
1. Island nature
Rocks, tropical greenery and beaches offer a break from city life. Some views make it easy to imagine being in a story about a deserted island, although travelers do visit these places.
2. Underwater life
Snorkeling is a way to discover the Andaman Sea’s inhabitants and see tropical fish. You may encounter a turtle, but wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed.
3. Blue bays
Clear water and pale sand create tropical scenes worth remembering. The sea changes colour with the light and weather, so each visit has its own character.
4. Time in warm seas
Swimming is another reason to visit the islands. Comfort depends on the weather, waves and conditions in each bay, so follow conditions on the day and the guidance of your escorts.
5. Photographs to take home
Beaches, granite rocks and sea panoramas provide plenty of subjects. Leave time for both photographs and a quiet look around, so you remember the place beyond a screen.
