The Surin Islands offer the best snorkeling sites in Thailand. Due to their remote location and size, a trip to the Surins is still a true island adventure without the usual high amounts of other visitors. The Surin Islands are 5 dreamlike islands, at about 100 km north of Khao Lak. They are not as known as the Similan Islands, but in no way inferior. Known for its colourful coral reefs and its living underwater world it fascinates many divers and even while snorkelling one can see a lot of the natural beauty. The islands abundantly covered with vegetation and surrounded by turqouise water are an almost untouched paradise. Fantastic coral reefs in combination with various types of fish and white sandy beaches invite you to stay. The Surin Islands are truly perfect for snorkelling, swimming and relaxing. Therefore we have to snorkel stops of 45 minutes each and some more time on one of the a bit more hidden beaches. We will reach it by longtail boat, to enjoy a tasty Thai lunch in the sun. The two main islands of Ko Surin Nuea (North Island) and Ko Surin Tai (South Island) are roughly the same size and form a very shallow, extensive channel, which is only about three feet deep at low tide. As the tides wash fresh sea water between the two islands every day, the reefs have recovered rapidly from the coral bleaching in 2010. They now offer excellent snorkeling conditions again. Especially the hard corals flourished for the last three years and are home to countless animal species again. As the Surin islands are the only inhabited archipelago, you will get the chance to visit the small fishing village with original wooden huts and own culture. Traditionally the Moken, a group of sea-faring people used to live on their houseboats at least half of a year. Living together in a village on land was only temporarily common during monsoon season. Now they started to settle down, but they still own an impressive knowledge related to underwater hunting and diving. On the southern island is a village of the indigenous Moken, the nomadic sea folks of the Andaman Sea. About 300 residents from 80 families lead a more or less authentic traditional sea nomadic life under the protection of the National Park authority. The sea nomads’ village is accessible for tourists and the Moken accept the limited daily visitor groups. Unlike in neighboring Myanmar, where the Moken neither posess nationality nor have the right to designated settlement areas, the last descendants of this fascinating people in Thailand are granted at least the status of a recognized ethnic minority with the right of settlement in their ancestral habitat. We pay the Moken village a short visit to give you a little insight of the original Andaman Sea inhabitants history and lifestyle. Your tour guide will give you some interesting information according to island life and if you like to you can buy one of the beautifully manufactured souvenirs as a memory of another good day in Thailand.
