 Mu
Ko Similan National Park
A group
of 9 small islands, 50 kms. off the west coast of Phang-nga
in the Andaman Sea. The National Park covers an area of 80,000
rai. Skin Diving Magazine rated them among the ten loveliest
places on Earth, because of the great natural beauty found on
the islands themselves the extensive surrounding coral gardens
beneath the waves. The islands are undeveloped and unspoiled;
numerous species of fish, crustaceans, and other forms of sea-life
abound; water clarity and diving are excellent. Similan is corrupted
from the Malay Sembilan and means nine. From north to south
in order the islands are : Ko Bon, Ko Ba Ngu, Ko Similan, Ko
Pahyoo, Ko Miang (two islands), Ko Pahyan, Ko Payahng and Ko
Hu Yong. |
