Phang Nga Mu Ko Surin

On this fine day, above was the clear blue sky, the.sun was bright. Cool breeze blow to welcome us. It's 9 o'clock sharp when we left Kuraburi Pier in Phang Nga While the boat cut through the waves big and small, for 60 kilometres from the shore we saw clear turquoise sea meeting with bright blue sky at the horizon. That was the very best impression when the boat finally took us to Mu Ko Surin National Park.

This group of islands remains rich of natural resources, especially the mysterious world under the water. Mu Ko Sarin National Park is one of the best shallow water diving places in Thailand that has attracted thousands of Thai and foreign visitors to explore and appreciate corals, fishes and marine lives.

corals, fishes

Mu Ko Sarin National Park comprises five islands - Koh Sarin Nua, Koh Surin Tai, Koh Kwai, Koh Klang and Koh Ree or Koh Stock. There are 9 diving spots, each with different corals, fishes and animals. Ao Suthep, for example, is the place that one can find sea fans of different colors, parrotfish and clownfish while at Ao Mai Ngam one may have more opportunity to see blacktop reef sharks.

Apart from the beauty of the unexplored world underwater and tranquility that charm visitors, Ao Bon Yai is a Morgan Village. Morgans are sea people who have lived by the sea for hundreds of years, their village is open to welcome visitors who wish to learn more about Morgan way of life. Visitors can also buy little art and craft made by Morgans, such as postcards, woven ware made from hibiscus leaves, or small models of "rue ka bang" or traditional boats that sea people have been using in travelling in the sea and it is symbol of the sea people.

It would be great to have a chance to sit down, relax, and watch the sun going down the horizon at Ao Krating. As the bright orange sun lowering down, the last light changes the turquoise color of the sea into Golden orange with glittering reflection on the surface, making this a memorable scene that one would hardly forget.

Watching how animal lives is quite interesting too.

As the dark blanketed the earth, its the time to have a sneak view of hairy leg mountain crab or locally called Pu Kai.

The crabs usually go out in the evening afterdark falls. Pu means crab and Kai means chicken. The crabs got this name because they made chick-like sounds in the mating season. The animal is one of the rare species and can be found only in a few locations in Thailand.

For anyone interested in exploring this place or learn more about the unspoiled eco-system here, they can stay overnight on the islands. The Mu Ko Surin National Park has arranged accommodations, bungalows and tents, for visitors at Ao Mai Ngarm and Chong Khao Khat. Electricity is available only from 18.00-22.00 hrs. If you still have no other plan for summer vacation, why not coming here to explore more of the Thai seas. Of course You will love Thailand more.
