Across the water from Phuket’s northwest coast, the Similan Islands greet early travellers with crystalline waters, vibrant coral reefs, and white-sand beaches framed by sculpted granite boulders. Snorkellers and divers may encounter tropical fish and sea turtles, while island trails lead to sweeping Andaman views. Protected as a national park, the islands open seasonally under controlled visitor arrangements. Travel with an authorised operator, respect park guidance, and enjoy this extraordinary landscape with the care it deserves.
