Feeling the island breeze and soaking up the sun in Phuket has been an absolute dream! Here's the lowdown on the must-visit spots that made my trip unforgettable: 📍 Samui Island, Surat Thani, Thailand 🏝️ A tropical gem where the coconut trees sway and the sea beckons. Samui Island isn't just stunning; it's a vibe. From kayaking to jet-skiing, and even banana boating, there's no shortage of fun on Bo Phut Beach. And the airport? It's an open-air marvel where planes soar up close! 📍 Similan Islands, Phang-nga, Thailand 🐢 Dive into paradise at the Similan Islands, open from October 16 to May 14. These islands are a snorkeler's dream with vibrant coral reefs and a kaleidoscope of marine life. The blue-green waters are a swimmer's delight, and the local hospitality is as warm as the Thai sun. 📍 Ko Lipe, Satun, Thailand 🌅 Ko Lipe stole my heart with its crystal-clear waters and delectable street food. Whether you're lounging on Sunrise Beach or exploring the Walking Street, this island is a slice of heaven. Don't miss out on snorkeling - the underwater world here is simply magical. 📍 Koh Khai Nok, Phang-nga, Thailand 🐠 This tiny island is a big deal with its clear waters and friendly feline residents. Perfect for a half-day excursion, Koh Khai Nok offers a serene escape with snorkeling spots that showcase the colorful aquatic life. 📍 Ko Phi Phi Don, Krabi, Thailand 🌞 The bustling island life of Ko Phi Phi Don is a stark contrast to its peaceful beaches. A national park since 1983, it's a sun-lover's paradise with activities like diving, snorkeling, and even parasailing. The sunset views here are absolutely mesmerizing. 📍 Maya Bay, Thailand 🌊 Maya Bay is a world-renowned beauty spot that's bounced back brilliantly after a restoration break. Visit on a sunny day to see the shimmering waters and marine life at their best. Just remember, swimming is off-limits, but the view alone is worth the trip.

Similan Island is surprisingly awesome❤️🥰

#phukettrip My first stop on Phuket Island, driven by the diary of V Similan Island, was what I was most looking forward to. I waited for Milan to arrive early on the day I booked the Rainbow and stayed near the airport. The driver arrived around 6pm to connect to these Milan docks. There was a self-service breakfast at the docks, and there was also Kakang County. I slept an extra time in the morning and went out without makeup to use this time for makeup. However, it turned out that Minggen didn't necessarily have to go snorkeling on the first island. After finishing makeup, I closed my eyes and quickly arrived at a destination that didn't feel the long and painful journey.! I suggest that if you want to go to Milan, you can stay near the airport on the first day and change hotels at night. The driver can arrive at a nearby hotel around 9 o'clock. You may need to stay at a hotel in Katakalen for another half an hour or so. After sleeping for another hour and a half, you will arrive. After boarding the ship, there is still about an hour and a half to travel. Taking seasick pills in advance may cause some inconvenience. If you bring luggage, you will need to pay a seat occupancy fee. When returning home, we stay at Chalong Pier. It is recommended to bring a set of jellyfish personal clothing when going out to sea. I came back on the same day and had a bikini print for sun protection. This sunscreen has no sunscreen effect

Similan Island in Phuket is so beautiful❤️🥰

#phukettrip You must go to Similan when coming to Phuket! The beauty that was originally planned to go straight out, for those who love the Glass Sea, go straight ahead! I have visited many islands of all sizes, and the sea blue of Milan is very different, so beautiful that I can hardly speak of it! 1 Six in the morning: Help pick up (Phuket Town) and arrive at the dock at about eight o'clock. The Chinese will be exiled to a small boat. Each person uses the color of their wristband as a unit. Breakfast can be served between the waiting dates, including Congee, sandwiches, Kakuang County and desserts. The use environment does not like to eat many flies. If you don't want to eat, you can take some sugar, fruit and seasickness medicine. Seastar Rainbow got on the ship at about 9 o'clock. The position on the ship is not important. Free towels are provided, and the mask is dark; Floating diving shoes and waterproof phone cases need to be brought with you, and there are also some expensive ones at the dock, around 390 yuan. It is recommended to buy them in advance at Deca or Central Phuket to measure when you were not on the boat when you were a child. You can go to the sixth island for floating diving first. I haven't gone underwater yet and will go to the second floor to take photos. You can also take two dives first (it is recommended to go to the ninth island again in the dark). On the fourth noon, you can have lunch on the fourth island. The lunch is very simple and backward, with only winter Yin Gong soup and explosive chicken returning. After finishing the meal, you can go to the beach and take some photos. The rocks and rocks next to it are very prominent. It is recommended to take more beach photos here, as there may not be enough time later

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.

Phuket Most Popular Destination

#phukettrip To experience all the charm of Phuket and its surroundings, you just need to go on excursions. One of the mandatory programs is a trip to the Similan Islands. Similans are located in the national park of Thailand. In recent years, the legislation has been tightened - and now you can only come here with excursions in the morning (previously there were two-day options with accommodation in bungalows). The authorities want to preserve nature on these islands in its original form. And, probably, this is absolutely the right decision. The Similan Islands are a national park of the Kingdom of Thailand and are among the top ten places on earth for diving and recreation. The islands are located 100 km northwest of Phuket. This is an archipelago of 9 islands (Similan is "Nine" in translation) of which not all are open and visited. Organized excursions are carried on the 8th and 4th frames. On 4 there are even houses for overnight stays, on 8 there is a tent camp. On the 8th there is also the famous sail mountain. Sea. The water here is simply incomparable. We've been to a lot of places, seen a lot, admired a lot. But this is where the place is really special. That's why I advise everyone to come here - just a gorgeous sea on the Similans. I don't even know what words to use to describe him. Snorkeling is also just wonderful, you definitely need to dive with a mask here, you can see a lot of amazing inhabitants of tropical seas.
