Going to Phuket without visiting the Similan Islands is like not going at all

Stunned by the beauty of the Similan Islands—the crystal-clear water, the jelly-like gradient blues, the milky white beaches. Only by coming to the Similan Islands can you truly understand the charm of Phuket! Emperor Island and Coral Island really can't compare to the Similan Islands! The Similan Islands are a protected area, open only 6 months a year, with limited development on the islands. Water activities like jet skiing and parasailing are prohibited, allowing only diving, so the water quality is truly guaranteed. Although it’s not easy to get to the Similan Islands, with a 2-hour drive plus a 3-hour boat ride, once you see it in person, you will definitely feel it’s worth it!
