Khao Lak and Surin Islands Map

Trying to add some substance to all this talking! Here is a nice map showing Khao Lak in relation to the Surin Islands. As the Crow flies, it's about 80 Km, but currently we aren't leaving directly.

With the best snorkeling and jungle around, this is always a staff favorite. Really scenic. The k is good, but not as exciting as the Similans. So we usually only go there for snorkeling and camping

You will also see that Koh Tachai and Koh Bon are very convenient From Khao Lak. Richelieu Rock is little bit far, so we often depart from Kuraburi and that's a straight shot out and back.



Just above the Surin Islands is the border with Myanmar/Burma. It's always strange to realize how close we are.



It always sounded so exotic and far away - Burma. Yet it's just a couple of hours away...


Here are a couple of scenery pictures to tide you over until next season. I know I can't wait.



The first picture is the channel between the two largest islands. You can see the water is clear and it is even better than that, Average temperature of 27c (about 150 Farenheit - like bathwater!)


Here is a longtail parked outside the national park headquarters.

Hmm...not many other National Park offices look like that.
