Similan 1 Day Trip – Paradise in the Middle of the Sea, the Jewel of the Andaman Sea, a Must-Visit at Least Once! When it comes to the most beautiful sea in Thailand, one of the names that must be ranked at the top is “Similan Islands” in Phang Nga Province. This time, we had the opportunity to go on a One Day Trip here. Let me tell you, it’s worth it!🗓️Travel Planning: 06.30 – Ready to go! The trip starts from Thap Lamu Pier. There is a shuttle service from the accommodation in Khao Lak. When we arrive at the pier, there is a light breakfast service with a briefing from a lovely guide before boarding the speedboat. The gentle sea breeze and the sea view open the door to happiness even before reaching the island. 09.30 – First dive point, so awesome! The first point we dived at was Islands 5 and 6. The water was so clear that we could see coral reefs and schools of colorful fish. The guides were very knowledgeable and took good care of us. Even beginners can feel at ease. 11.00 – Arrive at Island 4 (Koh Miang) Lunch break at Koh Miang. The sea is crystal clear and the sand is white and fine. Lunch is a simple buffet, but it’s surprisingly delicious! Great view, beautiful photos from every angle 13.00 – Highlight of the trip! Island 8 and Sail Rock The image that is memorable about Similan is probably “Sail Rock”, the symbol of the Andaman Sea. We climbed up to the top. The panoramic view is the best! Looking down, we saw the sea in shades like a postcard. 15.30 – Farewell to the sea paradise It was time to board the boat back. I still wanted to stay longer, but I was so full all day. The sea, sun, and natural wind healed my mind so well. This trip is perfect for those who have little time but want to experience world-class beauty. Good service, fun diving, amazing views, beautiful photos from every angle. Impressed with ten out of ten. If you haven’t been there, you have to go. #similan #travelplan #similanisland

After looking forward to it for so many years, I finally had the opportunity to go to the Similan Islands, which was selected as one of the top ten diving destinations in the world by National Geographic Magazine. The five-day, four-night trip included 15 dives in total, and I can only say it was really worth it! The Similan Islands are located in the Andaman Sea near Phang Nga Province and are protected by the Similan Marine National Park. In order to protect the natural environment here, the Similan Islands are only open from October to May of the following year, and the islands will be closed at other times. This time we chose the Manta Queen 7 liveaboard, which is cheaper and allows for full diving! We booked a double room with private bathroom. The room was small but very clean. But, to be honest, the room is small, so it really doesn't matter. Because I am only in the room when I sleep, and the rest of the time I am resting and chatting on the deck. The food on the boat is delicious. This life is really great! Just as Manta Queen's motto is, every day is Dive, Eat, Sleep, Repeat. If you want to try a liveaboard for the first time, the Similan Islands are really a good first experience! #MarchDestinations2025 #SimilanIslands #Liveaboard #Diving
