Muko
Surin Marine National Park
|
The
five islands that comprise Muko Surin Marine National Park offer,
like the Similans, excellent conditions for scuba diving and snorkelling.
Lying north of the Similans, about 70 km. off the coast of Khuraburi
district in Phang-nga province, the islands are well suited to both
on-land and underwater exploration.
For the hiker, there are a number of trails, especially on the
northern island, while the southern island has the added attraction
of a village of sea gypsies who maintain a traditional lifestyle
and preserve timehonoured customs. The underwater world is not only
excellent for scuba divers, but also for snorkellers who can explore
a wealth of shallow coral reefs.
