Some of the world’s most bedazzling spots for scuba-
diving and snorkelling are in the archipelagos of
the Andaman Sea’s Similan and Surin Islands.
Below the emerald-green and sapphire-blue surface,
you’ll see manta rays, whale sharks, lionfi sh, schools
of barracuda and around 75 percent of the coral
species in Thailand. But that’s only rippling the
surface, for there’s also leatherback turtles, squid,
octopus and giant Gorgonian sea fans.

For the upscale option, book a liveaboard (which
means you sleep and eat on a boat for several days)
from Phuket to explore the Similan Islands and their
multitude of dive spots, awash with the colours of
what people call the “rainforests of the sea”: coral
reefs teeming with marine life. You’ll sleep in
comfort and wake up to smell the salty breeze and
then plunge into the wild blue yonder beneath the
waves.

If you’re not a diver, don’t worry, because you won’t
be left high and dry. Many snorkellers opt to stay
on the Surin Islands in accommodation provided by
the National Park service, or put up their own tents.
The park also runs its own daily snorkelling trips to
some fantastically beautiful reefs. Even if you’re not
a strong swimmer, they will provide you with a life
jacket so you can get into the swim of things.
