When tourists flock to Similan, the neighboring Surin Island is as quiet as if it's in another world! As a national park officially protected by the Thai government, the tropical rainforests and mangroves on the island are well protected. The water quality is even better than that of Loke Island. The underwater corals and fish are abundant, making it a hidden gem for snorkeling enthusiasts. For protection, Surin Island is only open for 150 days a year. There are no hotels built on the island, only relatively primitive huts for those who want to stay overnight on the island. Outdoor enthusiasts can also bring tents and camp on the beach for a couple of days as primitive islanders, after all, the beaches here will not disappoint you! A group of mysterious Moken people live on Surin Island. They have no nationality and have always lived by the sea, just like the meaning of "Moken" in Thai - "people of the sea". Spend an hour or two walking along the coast to visit this small village, under the scattered houses seems to hide an ancient ethnic history. It is said that these "people of the sea" have superb boating and fishing skills and can dive for fish without any equipment. The women in the village sell shell-made ornaments to tourists, the children's eyes are full of innocence, and everyone is as simple as they were at the beginning.
