Known for

The Similan Archipelago is home to Thailand’s best snorkelling and diving reefs. I met an Australian diver in Thailand who actually favoured the Similan Islands to his home dive on the Great Barrier Reef!

The Similan Archipelago consists of 9 islands including Ko Bon, Ko Miang,  Ko Bayu, Ko Payu, Ko Similan, Ko Payan, Ko Payang, and Ko Huyong.

The islands’ remote location creates a sanctuary for an array of marine life. Diving here gives you a chance to spot the whale shark, green turtles, white tipped reef sharks, Baracuda, Parrot fish and a vast array of other marine life.
