The composition of the Similan Islands

"Similan" means nine in Malay. As the name suggests, the Similan Islands means nine islands. These nine islands are divided into groups of three and are arranged in three groups. They are: Koh Huyong, Koh Payang, Koh Payan, Koh Miang (there are two neighboring islands), Koh Bon, and Koh Miang. Koh Pahyu, Koh Pabu, Koh Similan (with lighthouse) and Koh Bangu. There are management offices on the fourth island and the eighth island respectively, responsible for supervising the activities of each archipelago. In particular, the Thai Navy is responsible for installing buoys at various dive sites and anchoring areas for the purpose of anchoring ships. It is not allowed to anchor arbitrarily to avoid harming corals and other creatures. This is evident from its careful protection. These islands are all undeveloped, and the islands present the beauty of primitive and simple nature, which is refreshing and refreshing. Under the island are giant sea fans, endless coral reefs and strange rocks, as well as rich marine life, making diving enthusiasts praise this place as one of the ten most charming tourist spots in the world.
