Located off the coast of Phang Nga Province in the sparkling waters of the Andaman Sea, the Similan Islands are among the best places in all of Thailand for scuba diving and snorkeling. The waters are teeming with fascinating marine life and underwater features. While day trips are possible, diving enthusiasts often spend several days on a live-aboard vessel to really make the most of their experience. Fishing is also popular around the islands, which are attractive in themselves with dense forests, interesting rock formations, and picturesque white, sandy beaches. Do note that the islands are generally closed to visitors between mid-May and mid-October.
