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.

Ashish's 6 days trip to Phuket

Over all experience was OK. But telhere were 3 4 issue in the trip. 1. It was said by travel triangle agent khushi that your C fee has been waived off, but at the tillme of fimal payment she and the team denied completely. This was very bad from their side. 2. When it was asked to book hotels where Veg breakfast should be there but out of 3 hotels 2 hotels were not having veg breakfast.. only breads were there. 3. Travel agents have not informed about the security deposit in each hotels.. hotels have charged 2000 baht as security deposite. As checked with other customers in hotels they were not asked for deposits, as land package includes hotels also, so if there was any deposit then it should be included and informed in starting. 4. Why customer email id is not given for any updates.. our flight no. got changed and we were not informed about. This was very serious issue.. Trip was good. Enjoyed.. but it could be more better as more places could be covered as more leisure time was given.

Princes's 6 days trip to Phuket

The trip was very well executed in terms of punctuality and pick up and drop facilities. There was a specific issue I would like to highlight. The lunch provided from the boat operators during poda island tour and Phi phi island tours was absolutely not acceptable for vegetarians. They only had rice and salad for vegetarian eaters. This definitely needs improvement and thoughtfulness. Also for snorkelling there was no guidance provided from boat operators. It was only for people who knew how to swim. Sunset at Poda island

Maanshika's 4 days trip to Phuket

Thank you so so much for the Amazing Solo Trip Experience, I can’t thank Parul, Tarun, Ankit and Ayush enough for making it truly unforgettable! From the moment I landed, everything was perfectly organized – the accommodations in Phuket, Pattaya, and Bangkok were absolutely the best, with comfortable stays and prime locations that made exploring so convenient. The team made sure every detail was taken care of, and I felt completely at ease traveling alone. The transfers, guided tours, and activities were seamless and well-planned, giving me the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Your professionalism and warm support throughout the trip made it a truly memorable experience. It was my birthday week and I am grateful to everyone for the surprise. Thank you for making my journey so smooth and special!
