Final Call – Surin Islands – Budgetcatcher Road Trip 2021

Koh Surin National Marine Park rates as one of Thailand’s prime island locations, located some 60 km off the west coast of Phang Nga Province and 100 km north of the Similans. It’s an archipelago of 5 islands: Koh Surin Nuea, Koh Surin Tai, Koh Ri, Koh Khai, and Koh Klang. Excellent diving, snorkeling, hiking and game fishing are why most travellers come to the Surin Islands. Koh Surin Nuea is also home to an indigenous community of around 150 Moken (sea gypsies), who have settled on the island for several decades.
