Breathtaking views from Elephant Head Rock

A must do activity is an hour boat ride to Similan Islands from Khao Lak, 2 hours north of Phuket. Thailand’s Similan Islands National Park, a group of 11 islands in the Andaman Sea, is one of the most pristine places in the world for diving. The islands boast picturesque landscapes with white-sand beaches, large granite rocks jutting out from the earth, dense jungles teeming with diverse fauna and flora, and crystal-clear azure waters. Similan island no. 8 is where the famous Elephant Head Rock is and one of the best instagram spots in Thailand. We had the best snorkelling there and was fortunate to swim with 2 beautiful turtles.
