Abundant marine life

Stunning natural topography
Something for every diver
Rich Culture
The Similan Islands in Thailand are thought to have inherited their name from the Malay word 'sembilan' meaning 'nine' as the main part of the Similans Archipelago consists of a group of nine granite boulder islands. However, with the inclusion of Koh Bon and Koh Tachai as part of the Similans Marine National Park, there are 11 islands in total. Above the water topography is stunning; lush vegetation tops the islands giving way to granite boulders or white sandy beaches, surrounded by crystal clear water. But, it is what lies beneath the surface that allows the Similans and Surin Islands to lay claim to being one of Thailand and Asia's top scuba diving liveaboard destinations.
