Must-Do Guide for the Similan Islands

Really love the Similan Islands! This is written for those of you who want to unwind✨

.
💙【What to Do in the Similan Islands】
1⃣️Snorkeling to chase sea turtles: The water visibility here is super high, and if you're lucky, you'll encounter huge sea turtles (remember to bring a GoPro)
2⃣️Sail Rock on Island No. 8: It takes 20 minutes to climb up, but the panoramic view of the whole island is totally worth it
3⃣️Stunning sunset: Around 5 PM, be sure to hang out on the beach to catch the sunset; every shot looks cinematic
4⃣️Powdery beach: Walking barefoot on the soft white sand is incredibly soothing~

✈️【Transportation Tips】
▪️From Phuket, it takes 2 hours by car + 1.5 hours by boat (a day tour is recommended for convenience)
▪️Strongly recommend choosing a speedboat; big boats rock too much and can cause seasickness (bring seasickness medicine)
▪️Remember to bring a waterproof phone case and sun-protective clothing

.
🏝️【Travel Tips】
✓ No shoes allowed on the island (remember to bring beach socks)
✓ There are no shops on the island (bring your own water and snacks)
✓ Be sure to book boat tickets 2 months in advance; peak season is very competitive
✓ November to April is the best season, with the clearest water

💭You really don’t need to plan too many activities in the Similan Islands
Lying on the beach, zoning out, watching the jellyfish-colored sea
Is the most perfect way to vacation
