Andaman Sea Hidden Gem: Princess Island of Similan

#myhiddengems The incredibly beautiful transparent sea, snow-white fine sand, complete with granite rocks and tropical vegetation, is breathtaking. I want to soak up this beauty and remember it for the rest of my life. Undoubtedly, Similan and the most wonderful island of this archipelago, Princess Island, are one of the most beautiful places in Thailand. Therefore, I recommend that all friends and acquaintances go on this particular tour. If you prepare for the trip correctly, then good impressions and a lot of beautiful photos are almost guaranteed. You can get here only during the dry season, when this national park is open to tourists from October 16 to May 15. The easiest way to get to the paradise of the Similan Islands is to buy an excursion with a transfer from a hotel in Phuket. To get to Similan from Phuket Island, you first need to drive 53 km north to the port of Khao Lak. Then, on a speedboat, you can rush through the waves and sea expanses to the Similans for another hour. The boat is likely to shake violently, so it's worth taking motion sickness pills 30 minutes before boarding the boat (sold at any pharmacy or given at a briefing before boarding the boat). It used to be possible to get to Similan on your own (without an excursion). When there were tents on the Similans and it was possible to spend the night, there was a boat from the pier to the islands. To date, there is no such regular communication with the islands. Princess Island, like the other islands of the Similan archipelago, is a granite island of volcanic origin (which makes them all look like the Seychelles). The island is covered with lush vegetation and snow-white sand in the bays. Of the living creatures on the Similans, land crabs of impressive size and Fruit Bats. Fruit Bats are also called flying foxes or flying dogs and they are 100% vegetarians. There are a large number of hermit crabs on the islands. But all of the above are just dry facts. The main thing that attracts thousands and hundreds of thousands of tourists to this island is certainly the incredibly beautiful turquoise sea and snow-white beaches.
