- The Similan Islands in Thailand are a world-famous archipelago consisting of 9 incredibly gorgeous islets. The beautiful archipelago, about 24 kilometers long, is located in the Andaman Sea, 70 kilometers from the mainland. The name comes from the Malaysian word “sembilan” meaning 9, but today these pearls are known as Similan Islands. Together with 2 other islands, this impressive natural jewel is protected by the Mu Ko Similan National Park. Thanks to the fascinating underwater world, the rich diving areas and the colorful soft corals, the sea around the Similan Islands has become a famous spot for diving but also for snorkeling.
The Similan Islands are among the most beautiful islands in Thailand and are for many a must see. Characteristic and really unique are the snow white powdery sand beaches and the crystal clear turquoise sea. Highlights are the imposing granite rocks, especially the famous Sailboat Rock, which make the beaches of the Similan Islands a photographer’s dream.
In this video I show you the whole day starting from the pier in Khao Lak. I include video of what to expect on the boat as well as the underwater world seen while snorkeling. I have wanted to visit here for a very long time and it was well worth the visit.
Enjoy the video!

This boat tour was amazing. We got to do and see so much. Another boat tour that is fantastic is from Trat. If you want to see the sea cave and some other islands here is the video.

Looks great will be giving that a look
The camera doesn’t do the place justice. Was amazing.
Very nice, good job 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. :)
Mission accomplished 😊
Ya it took a bit of doing but we made it to the island. I will post the failure video as soon as I finish editing it.
Was it a packed lunch or something at a restaurant?
The lunch for us was served out of metal containers that they brought to the island. It was kinda like a resultant but we didn’t have any real choices; spicy soup or super spicy. Lol on a whole it wasn’t too bad just not cooked on site.
I did see a few tours that were sitting around eating the box lunches.
How many day you stay in Pulau Sembilan/Koh Similan? did you see many and native 'urak lawoi and malay, any mosque. any recommendation? i saw many malay with hijab.
You can only go on a day trip. There are no hotels on any of the islands. The mosquitos didn’t bother me at all. The only unusual animals I saw were the pidgins with the extra feathers around their necks and the bats in the trees. The tour company I took from Khao Lak was very good and I would recommend to anyone.
@@endlessjourneytravels thank, i will visit the island, Phuket, Phang-nga, Krabi, Trang and Langkawi island have many in common, the islet, beach, bay and environment very similar. The Longtail boat is very austronesian, the urak lawoi and kedahan malay famous with the longtail boat.
@@safuwanfauzi5014 Phuket is very crowded. The beaches and everything is nice but I enjoy Krabi and Khao Lak more. I don’t enjoy the crowds like I used to when I was younger.

When we was there it was packed with chinese tourist. If one boat with chinese leave the beach two new come in to the beach. Seams like its not so much chinese tourists there now. Maybe I sound a little racist now, but I aint at all, but it was to much of them at that point 2018. I have noticed about chinese people, they are not swimming! They cant swim, just a very few of them, if they swim as they did on theese tour out to Similand Island they use resque wests because they cant swim. But that beaches on theese Islands are really nice. I can also recomend this trip, and subscribe to Endless Journey! 🇸🇪🇹🇭👍❤
Many of the beaches used to have a lot of Chinese tour groups like Koh samet, Koh Lan and others. They are still under lockdown and can’t come to Thailand. I was reading that the Thai government has reduced the total number of visitors each day. Many of the tour operators have complained about it because they depend on numbers.
The trip was great and I would do it again :) thanks Connie :)
