Temperature: +30°C 86°F A little over an hour to go on a speedboat with 3 motors Approximately 70 km from the pier Princess Beach (Miang Island No.4) The park is an archipelago consisting of 11 islands, occupying an area 140 square kilometres (54 sq mi) With a land area of about 26 square kilometres (10 sq mi) For convenience, the Thai Department of National Parks has assigned numbers to the islands from north to south Of these, the two main islands for tourists to visit are Koh Miang (No.4) and Koh Similan (No.8) Friends, for your convenience I have placed Time Codes under the video Look how amazing the clear water is! There are bungalows on this island where you can stay overnight Including the bungalow of the Princess of Thailand, who visits Similan once a year and lives there in her residence Actually, hence the name of the beach "Princess Beach" It's amazing how similar the Similan Islands are to the Seychelles with their huge granite boulders The sand is as fine as flour :) The screw pine fruit, also known as pandan fruit, has a bright green appearance and a mild sweet flavor In Asia, it is used in a wide variety of dishes, from desserts to savories, and even as a natural food coloring The fruit is packed with antioxidants and a great source of fiber, making it a healthy snack option for those who are trying to maintain a good diet Let's take a walk around the island and go to the second beach called "Honeymoon bay" Rate in the comments using a 10-point system which beach you liked better on this island, “Princess Beach” or “Honeymoon Bay” Miang Island No.4 is equipped with everything you need! Please be aware that the Similan Islands National Park is a nature reserve And therefore, do not even think about taking a drone with you, drone flights are prohibited!

We are heading to the long-awaited, beloved and popular island of the Similan Islands, Similan Island in Donald Duck Bay (island No. 8) Donald Duck Bay Similan Island (Island No.8) Donald Duck Cove is named because of the granite boulders resembling the famous cartoon character Sail Rock Our three-engine speedboat So, are you ready to climb Sail Rock with me??? :) Come follow me!

We went up to Sail Rock We go down to the Bengal Monitor, the way down is much easier :) Bengal monitor If the Bengal monitor puffs up its neck and hisses, then run! A day trip to the Similan Islands cost me 2800 baht Now the walking tour is not big on the beach of Similan Island And let's go snorkeling with you! The Similan Islands are considered one of the best diving spots not only in Thailand, but throughout the world You will see the underwater world of the Similan Islands You can’t do this, you can't swim here! Swimming spots on the left and right of the bay The local sandy beaches are characterized by soft, delicate sand, and in the past you could spend the night here in a tent 6 years ago I was lucky enough to spend the night here in a tent, surrounded by giant crab and monitor lizards :) The reef you will see today is truly a unique place in Thailand Let's go Snorkeling If you get motion sickness, don't sit on the nose of a speedboat! Bye bye Similan Island No. 8 :)) Beacon Reef Beacon Reef is the longest in the Similan Islands This reef is notable for the fact that the ship Atlantis X sank here in 2002 The sunken ship rests on a coral wall, which makes it even more stunning It has long been home to a wide variety of marine life The Similan Islands are considered one of the best diving spots not only in Thailand, but throughout the world But in order to see the sunken ship you need to scuba dive under water :) And not with a mask and snorkel :)) Friends, let's go back to the pier Here's an example of how changeable the weather is in Thailand! After 10 minutes :) It started to rain heavily Friends, thank you all for watching! :) See you again! Thap Lamu Pier
