Opiniones Similan 2022 ⚠️ Foro de The Independent Traveller (English) ✈️

I travel to Thailand often and you people are such a huge help. So thanks for that!

I’ll have a few spare days before and after a liveaboard dive trip to the Similan Islands and I’d like to make the most of them. I’m into nature, beaches, hiking and good, authentic food. I’m less about nightlife or bar scenes. What area should I stay? I’d love a boutique style hotel (rather than a monster resort mini city) or private room in a hostel. If it’s in the jungle, even better! Should I make the trek down to Phuket city? Most of what I read about it sounds like a loud, polluted party. Khao Lak seems like a slower pace. Is it a nice jumping off point for jungle excursions/hikes?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Oh thank you!!!!

I hope people can help with other destinations to visit in Thailand apart of:

Koh burin , koh simian, koh lipe, taru tao.

Como escribes en inglés, traslado el hilo al apartado correspondiente.

Yep Im Have the Padi. But I still have to practice a lot. I lost it.

Is the area affected for the tsunami 6 year ago??

my suggestion is your firts option , all the andaman coast . keep in mind : tarutao and surin islands , probably ,above all the second one , the best of the best .
are you certificated diver ?

Hi.

I would like to do a coast trip around this areas and islands, but i dont know if the tsunami made disasters in the snorkel-diving areas.

My trip is basickly snorkel and scuba.

I have 3 choices:

A) surin and similan islands and the head south of the country (phi phi, koh lipe, taru tao).

B) Koh tao area. But i think there are not many islands on this side.

C) Ko Samet, Koh chang area. Dont know know anything about this.

What do you recommend for snorkel-scuba-explore-nature trip??

Thank you!!
