Although Similan is a little far from Phuket, it is clearer than other islands, and the sea is like a jelly! Moreover, it is only open for a few months a year, and the chance of seeing turtles when diving is also very high. Choose a larger boat for a more comfortable experience and higher safety!

Koh Tachai is a very interesting island in the Similan Islands. It has long sandy beaches and beautiful reefs. The scenery is very beautiful, especially at dusk. It is definitely a good place to take pictures. Don't miss it when you are island hopping.

Lunch has everything from fresh fruits to Thai Tom Yum Goong. Every time I ordered a drink, the service staff would add ice cubes before pouring the drink. For dinner, we were treated to coconut milk ice cream when we arrived at Island No. 9.
