And with the abundance of shallow-water coral reefs, which are abundant in both Koh Surin Nuea and Koh Surin Tai, this is a top-tier diving destination in Thailand. It would not be wrong to call it another one of the best seas in Thailand. Looking at the big picture, the Surin Islands are sheltered from wind and waves in both seasons because the islands are arranged in groups and have large bays, resulting in coral reefs along the coast around Koh Surin Nuea, Koh Surin Tai, and the surrounding islands. In addition to being influenced by wind and waves, The oceanographic environment of these islands is an environment suitable for the development of coral reefs: clear water, moderate temperature, adequate sunlight, and a mixture of water that receives nutrients from the water mass below that collides with the islands. The abundance of plankton, which is food for fish and other animals, makes the sea around the Surin Islands dense with shallow coral reefs with a very high biodiversity. It has been recognized as the origin of one of the largest and most complete shallow coral reefs in Thailand. #Surin Islands National Park #Andaman Sea #Thailand
