Both of these places are located in Phang Nga province, south of Thailand. The most entertaining activity is diving in these archipelagos. Dive master can almost guarantee that, if you come in the right season, you will see Manta Rays flying by in Ko Bon (Surin); or at Richelieu Rock, the Whale Shark will glide feeding itself with plankton. Here you will see quite a number if sea turtles because Huyong Beach in Similan ( Conserved area, not open to diving) is where the shelled creatures lay their egg, or look on the sandy bottom here if you want to see leopard sharks.
Similan and Surin are capable of surprising the most experienced divers and their wealth of marine life is almost inexhaustible. The diversity of creatures are world-renowned and more than 75% of coral reefs of Thai seas can be found here.
Surin National Park is the best spot in Thailand to snorkel with crystalline water.
Please note that the Archipelagos are closed yearly from mis-May to mid-November due to the monsoon and to allow the marine ecosystem to rejuvenate itself.
