When Similan Islands Open and Close and how to get there?

Similan Islands are open from October 15th until May 15th and is not possible to overnight at Similan.

Similan archipelago became a national park in 1982, and consists of 11 islands in the Andaman Sea, 70 km off the coast in Phang Nga Province. With a rich marine life consisting of many coral reefs, crystal clear waters and white beaches, Similan Islands are considered to be one of the best snorkeling sites in the world. The main characteristics of the islands are the rock formations, shallow waters and dense tropical forests. Prior to Covid-19, the islands had many tourists visits everyday.

Back in 2018 the problem with overcrowded visitors became so big that the park authorities limited the number of tourists to Similan Islands to 3,325 people a day.

Before the limitation, the islands were getting up to 7,000 visitors a day. "Similan" is a Yawi (a Malayan dialect) word which means nine. The park had originally nine islands numbered 1 to 9 but expanded to include two more remote islands back in 1998; Ko Tachai (now closed to the public) and Ko Bon. Although each island has a name they can be referred to with numbers.
The two main islands are the island N.4 Koh Miang and the N.8 Koh Similan.
