Koh Phra Thong

🏝 This island is a real gem to the Andaman Sea! This is Surin Islands, an archipelago of five islands located in the southwestern coast of #thailand 🇹🇭, where the natural beauty of both its land areas and underwater world is just so enticing!   📌 Highlights! — 👉🏼A visit to the sea gypsy village of Moken people who have been living there for many generations 👉🏼Encounter genuine and less-spoiled tropical atmosphere 👉🏼Great snorkeling and swimming sites to enjoy the abundant local marine life of the area 👉🏼Home to the Ruchelieu Rock, one of the world’s best diving sites   ⛵️I visited the island by a day trip package out of Phuket. It was doable but I wish I had more time to appreciate those peaceful moments during the snorkeling at several sites around the island. I have also seen a lot of travelers spending a night or two on the available lodges, tents, and bungalows provided by the National Park.   💯 Even for only a day trip visit to this tropical paradise, the pictures of those crystal clear water, pristine beauty of the coral reefs, and the fascinating lives of the local settlers are still vivid in my memory. I fell in love with this island, and wanted more—and I am sure any visitor would feel the same! 🗺 #urbanexplorer #tropicalvibes #islandenthusiast #tropicsparadise #snorkelingspot #islandtravel #bestislandtraveltowns#nationalpark#urbanexplorer#seasidephotoguide
