Surin Islands and Moken Village - Snorkelers Paradise

If you’re dreaming of turquoise waters, untouched coral reefs, and the charm of sea gypsy culture, then a visit to the Surin Islands is calling your name. With Phuket Travel Store, you can experience this snorkeler’s paradise in the most authentic and unforgettable way — guided by locals who call these islands home.

A Hidden Gem in the Andaman Sea

The Surin Islands National Park, located about 60 kilometers off the coast of Phang Nga Province, is one of Thailand’s best-kept secrets. Often overshadowed by the more commercial Similan Islands, Surin offers a peaceful escape and world-class snorkeling without the crowds. The shallow coral gardens and rich biodiversity make it a dream come true for underwater enthusiasts.

This is not just a tour. It’s a journey into nature, culture, and conservation — where your presence supports local communities and helps protect one of Thailand’s last remaining untouched marine parks.

Snorkeling Heaven – Explore Vibrant Coral Reefs

Snorkeling in Surin Islands is nothing short of spectacular. The islands are surrounded by crystal-clear waters and extensive coral formations that are home to hundreds of species of tropical fish, sea turtles, clownfish, moray eels, and even occasional sightings of reef sharks and manta rays.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced snorkeler, the coral reefs of Ao Mae Yai, Ao Chong Kad, and Ao Tao will leave you speechless. With Phuket Travel Store, you’ll be provided with snorkeling equipment, safety briefings, and guided supervision to ensure your experience is safe, fun, and respectful of the marine environment.

Discover the Moken Village – A Living Sea Culture

One of the highlights of this journey is a visit to the Moken Village, home to the indigenous Moken people, often referred to as the “Sea Gypsies.” The Moken have lived on the Surin Islands for generations, relying on the ocean for food, shelter, and spiritual life.

Their stilt houses made of palm leaves line the white sand, while children play by the water’s edge. As you walk through the village, you’ll see handmade wooden carvings, colorful jewelry, and spirit poles that reflect the tribe’s deep connection to nature. Your local Moken guide will share stories of their sustainable lifestyle, survival skills, and beliefs — an eye-opening cultural experience you won’t find in a guidebook.

This is responsible tourism at its finest — traveling with respect, giving back to local communities, and learning from indigenous knowledge.

Natural Wonders Around Every Corner

Beyond the reef and the village, the Surin Islands offer an explosion of natural beauty. The twin beaches at Ao Bon Yai and Ao Bon Lek are perfect for sunbathing or a peaceful swim. Behind the Moken Village lies a jungle teeming with life — from curious monkeys and flying lizards to hornbills and tropical butterflies.

Every inch of the islands is protected under strict environmental laws, making this one of the most eco-friendly destinations in Thailand. You’ll notice the absence of plastic, motorboats, and large hotels — instead, nature is allowed to thrive, and so will your sense of wonder.
