The Similan Islands tour was another trip that I expected to do. At this time, I traveled to stay in Phuket for 1 night at Sleep Room Guesthouse before went to Phang Nga. In the morning, the van picked me up to Thup Lamu Harbor, Pang nga for travel to the Similan Islands.
You have to try to understand a little that the Similan Islands consist of many islands. Therefore, if we call Similan Island(Koh Similan), it’s incorrect. You have to call them “Similan Islands” (Mu Koh Similan).
I departed from Thup Lamu Harbor for diving at the first site in front of Se Island. The boat took me to dive two sites in the morning. Then I went on to dive two more sites in the afternoon.
Each dive site depend on the consideration of the guides who are stationed in the boats that where they can take us to dive. Moreover, they must check the height of waves and many factors. Don’t worry about these because we can dive every site that they told certainly.
The popular dive sites in the Similan Islands are Se Island, Jed Island, Pad Island (Huang Chang Bay), and Kao Island (Ta Kea Bay). If it is possible, I would like to recommend you to choose the 3 days 2 nights tour of the Similan Islandsbecause you can dive, watch views and beaches, swim and rest completely. It can tell that clear Similan.
The residences on the Similan Islands were the national park’s residences where had located on Se Island and Pad Island. Food and toilets were provided, but the electricity weren’t provided from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. There were two types of the residences – namely tents and rooms.
Another option was sleeping on the boat overnight that it anchored in front of Pad Island. These potions depended on considerations of the travel agents’ management. Thus you should ask them clearly.
