The departure port is not Phuket.
Trips to the Surin Islands depart from Ban Nam Khem Pier in Phang Nga Province. It's about 2 hours by car from Phuket Town, so pickup is early. Staying in Khao Lak puts you much closer.

The Surin Islands are known for the best-preserved coral in the Andaman Sea. They lie far offshore, almost two hours by boat, so they are uncrowded, and many say the water and coral beat Similan. After the first snorkel at Chong Kad Channel, you visit the village of the sea nomads of the northern Andaman Sea, the Moken people — then snorkel twice more at Bon Bay and Pineapple Bay.
💙Great for
- For those who want plenty of snorkeling (3 times a day)
- For those looking for an uncrowded sea
- For those who want to see local culture, such as the Moken village
- For those staying in Khao Lak (the pier is close)
