The Similan Islands in Phang Nga Province are a paradise for sea lovers! The word "Similan" means "nine," referring to the number of islands grouped together. This place is distinguished by its soft, white sandy beaches, crystal-clear blue waters, and an underwater world teeming with colorful corals, beautiful fish, and rare creatures like sea turtles and the horseshoe crab. Traveling to the Similans is not difficult; most people take a speedboat from Tab Lamue Pier in Phang Nga, which takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to 1.5 hours. It's recommended to purchase a day trip package, as overnight stays on the islands are currently not permitted. The best time to visit is from November to April when the waters are clear and the weather is pleasant. On Koh 4 (Ko Miang) and Koh 8 (Koh Similan), there are facilities such as restaurants and restrooms. A must-see is the "Sail Rock," the symbol of the Similan Islands on Koh 8, which offers a stunning viewpoint. Honestly, once you visit, you'll fall in love with the Thai sea even more!
