SIMILAN ISLAND IS CLOSING FOR RENOVATION
OPERATING IN OCTOBER 2017
Similan Islands National Park was established after a one-year exploration by the forestry department. The park is an archipelago consisting of nine islands named Ko Tachai, Ko Bon, Ko Bangu, Ko Similan, Ko Payu, Ko Hok, Ko Ha, Ko Miang, Ko Payan, Ko Payang, and Ko Huyong. Recently, the park was expanded to include two remote islands named Ko Bon and Ko Tachai. The Similans are situated 70 kilometres from Phang Nga town. “Similan” is a Yawi word which means “nine”. Bon and Tachai islands were added to the national park in 1998.
The Similans are close on May – October and will open again 15th October 2016.
As every year the Similan Islands close at 15th May due to unsafe weather and sea conditions and this year is no exception. The National Park will open on 15th October 2016
