Similan Islands | The Most Beautiful Thai Islands

Published 2021-04-18
The Similan Islands might be the most beautiful Thai island that we have ever visited. They are a cluster of 11 Thai islands in the Andaman sea known best for their gorgeous blue waters, tropical marine life, and unique rock formations.

The islands are protected as part of a national park and can only be visited between the months of November and May. The islands are closed June-October for wildlife conservation, making a visit to the Similan islands even more special.

  • You guys did an awesome job with this video. What a stunning area to explore😁Love the snorkelling and the view from the top... beautiful. Lovely resort.
  • @Explorcation
    The footage in your intro sold me on these islands, wow, they are so beautiful! I love the focus on conservation and that tourism isnt allowed all of the time. The water during your snorkeling was so clear, the tour seemed like a great experience. The resort you are staying at also looks like a great option in the area 😊
  • The Similan Islands are indeed Beautiful! Thanks for taking me with you 👍. Big like. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day 😀.
  • Wow! It’s like each beach you go to is more beautiful than the last. The water is so clear and so blue 💙 it’s an absolute dream! Love the music as you’re showing the blue water and the rocks on the last island. The view from the top of your hike is so beautiful! You’re just in absolute paradise! Great price for what you get on this tour. How amazing is your resort 🥰 Looking forward to the Kao Sok video 🤗 Great video guys!
  • @DjusLife
    What a beautiful group of islands! it's cool that they are chosing to protect the beauty by limiting when they are open for tourism and restricting it to a few months of the year, not the easiest thing to do for many places that rely on toursm but it's definitely necessary as some places have seen a lot of negative impact from that.
  • @WoodsWavesWings
    Without any doubt, those are lovely islands. Beautiful beaches, clear blue, amazing landscapes - perfect holiday destinations. You are making full use of the pandemic by travelling so many amazing places in Thailand. 🙂👍
  • @exs1803
    Amazing location. A most beautiful place indeed. Can see your delight and joy in discovering the islands............. Excellent video.
  • @AprilChu
    Wow the water looks unreal! I can see why it's a popular spot for visitors especially since it is only open for a few months of the year. The conservation efforts to preserve the islands are awesome. I think that little fish with a horn on its head is called a unicorn fish...I may be wrong. The rock formations are so unique. The climb to the viewpoint barefoot was so worth it. The resort you guys stayed at is amazing...I'm definitely taking note of all this the next time we visit Thailand!
  • @SvenVee
    That water color though 😍 Great video!
  • Nice to hear the islands are closed part of the year for preservation. That water is so crystal blue! Wayne loves the undersea world. Cool turtle rock head! That resort is speaking our language at $39 a night!
  • @megahern8467
    Holy crap, that water color!!! :D Amazing!! I love the conservation efforts, too! Thanks for this incredible video :)
  • Love the rainbow parrot fish at 3:10 😍 they’re my favourite to swim along with and watch them chomp the sand, such pretty colours! Miang beach looks dreamy!🏝 You’ll be jumping without a vest in no time, it’s great finding a ‘fish highway’ to hang out in
  • @exploreaswego
    We love going on these boat tours! We never heard of Similan, but love that you are taking us! We checked out so many islands like Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lipe and Koh Samui :) They were all really fun and all slightly different. The view from the top is so nice. The water is always so blue! Coconut Beach is so secluded! Looks like you guys had the whole place to yourselves! We love it! Thanks for sharing!
  • @TheMapPinners
    That's so cool that they dedicate so much area for conservation/preservation! I wish more areas of nature were preserved as well as that. That seems like a great system to only allow people to visit at certain times. It certainly doesn't look like there was a lack of demand for visiting! The islands look like they are absolutely beautiful. Such incredibly blue water and white sand beaches
  • @srx214
    See you guys have the time of your life. In these beautiful locations. Indeed the Similan islands are one of the best travel destinations. For those who love the sun, sand and sea, islands and beaches, snorkeling and diving underwater.
  • @user-hr4fp9px2b
    Was there yesterday, on a trip from Khao lak, the island's are absolutely beautiful, but it's absolutely jam packed on the beaches such a shame, it's now become a massive tourist enclave.
  • Some incredible blue waters... really cool they close it off to preserve it, very smart moves these days. We would love to snorkel there... loved the colorful fish. But would also like to give a try at scuba diving there! The hike to the top of similan Island was so worth it was those views wow
