About Similan Islands in Thailand

Similan Islands are another treasure in the treasure trove, which Phuket has to offer.

They are located 84 km northwest of Phuket and are famous for the vast stretches of blue sea. The place also has several mysteries beneath these blue waters, which attract tourists from all over the world. Similan Islands diving is a world-famous activity and is counted one among world's 10 most interesting diving areas. People who love gliding among the waves, also make this place a must visit in their itinerary as it is also a favourite destination for yachts and tour boats.

Similan is derived from the Malay word Sembilan, which means nine. Every Similan Island has a name as well as a number. Like this, there are nine Islands namely, Koh Ba Ngu, Similan, Payu, Miang, Payan, Payang and Hu Yong. Similan Island tour is never disappointing, as the place has thousands of things to offer. Scenic beauty is at its best in this place in the form of limestone Islands of Krabi or Phang Nga Bay. There is also a thick forest of lush green trees. The place is also the home to some of the most spectacular corals of the world, under the sea. Birds, butterflies, squirrels and reef fishes are found in plenty, which really makes people feel at one with nature.

Similan Islands where to stay is often the most important query among the visitors. This is because there are no proper hotels in the place. The best options are the bungalows or campsites. By staying in these places, one can best enjoy the tropical paradises. Koh Similan, Koh Tachai and Koh Meang are the only Similan Islands which offer accommodation. If one decides to stay in bungalows, one has to do the booking much in advance as there are only 35 of them and are always in high demand.

Ritheshkumar's 5 days trip to Phuket

everything was fine. Parul was good to reach for any queries. Aspen suites stay staff was bit arrogant, over all a safe trip with budget friendly

Senthil's 7 days trip to Phuket

I recently booked a trip to Thailand - Krabi and Phuket with Navigatio, specifically Parul. The trip planning and execution went smoothly with no hiccups. Parul was incredibly friendly and helpful, she provided suggestions but took our wants seriously into consideration to create a perfect experience tailored for us. The entire team will assist on WhatsApp and ontrip app so one can be worry free while on vacation. Pricewise, they gave us a great deal after negotiation. I would definitely recommend Navigatio for your trip planning needs.

Dhruv's 7 days trip to Phuket

Would recommend mr lucky to everyone as he planned my trip to Thailand really well . I had to pay fees for few of the sightseeing which I feel should be clearly told in advance. Besides that everything went smooth . Also avoid a guy named Kashish as he tried to scam me over flight bookings which mr lucky handled and solved the problem as soon as he could . So yeah overall it was a nice experience.

Richa's 11 days trip to Phuket

Great trip and nicely coordinated. The best part of the trip is their group, where all the itinerary is mentioned, and details of the trip are updated before each trip in starting, which makes international trip easy and comfortable.

Sai's 5 days trip to Phuket

We were connected to Navigatio ASIA through Travel Triangle, and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip planning experience. Our coordinator, Ms. Parul, was incredibly helpful—she understood our preferences and crafted a perfect itinerary that exceeded expectations. From private pool villas and beach stays to comfortable private cabs, everything was arranged beautifully and well within our budget. Among all the travel agencies we explored, Navigatio ASIA offered the best pricing without compromising on quality. A big thank you to the entire team! We’ll definitely reach out to you again for our future adventures.

Sandy Sandeep

Dr's 6 days trip to Phuket

My Holiday Trip Review I had a wonderful time on my recent holiday trip. The overall experience was enjoyable and memorable — from the scenic locations to the well-planned itinerary and friendly people I met along the way. Every place we visited had something unique to offer, and I truly appreciated the time spent exploring and relaxing. The only downside was the hotel accommodation, which was not up to the mark. The facilities and service did not meet expectations and could definitely use some improvement. Despite this, it didn’t overshadow the overall trip, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Looking forward to my next adventure! Had a wonderful time with my family.
