Thailand's coral garden, Koh Similan Island.

Here is Thailand's Coral Garden. As one of the top ten spots in the world, Koh Similan Island is only open for 150 days a year. In order to maintain the simplicity of the island, there are no hotels on the island and visitors even have to go barefoot. However, this does not affect diving enthusiasts from all over the world who come here to take photos. Although the archipelago is composed of nine islands, only the fourth island, Miang Island, and the eighth island, Koh Similan Island, are open to visitors. As a tourist center and restaurant, in order to achieve harmony between humans and nature, the other seven islands are not allowed to be rented, and activities can only be carried out in the surrounding waters. This determination to protect the island also extends to accommodation. In 2018, the island speedboat was cancelled, and only those who hold an OW certificate can choose to stay here. It is also because the distance from the surrounding islands is too far away. Compared with the one-day tour that rushes through the market, staying for three days is a true experience. You can swim with the dolphins in Similan, watch the spectacular sea wolf storm, experience cave snorkeling, and even go to the Surin Islands to explore the mysterious gypsy tribe. Even if you are tired from diving, you can choose to take a walk on the beach, stare at the sea, and enjoy the scenery. In the highly developed tourism industry of Southeast Asia, will this primitive island be your new choice?
