Popular for its coral gardens and white beaches, Surin Islands are one of the most famous diving and marine life viewing sites in the world, no doubt the best in Thailand. The islands are within Mu Ko Surin National Park.
Surin Islands are an archipelago of five islands within Mu Ko Surin National Park, in Phang Nga Province. The islands are 55 km off the coast, 100 km north from Similan Islands in the Andaman Sea and just 18 km from the oceanic border of Burma. The national park is covering an area of 135 km² of which 76% is sea.
The main islands are Ko Surin Nuea and Ko Surin Tai which are only 200 meters apart, the corridor between both islands is shallow and a popular place for snorkelling. The other three small islands are Ko Ri, Ko Khai and Ko Klang.
The islands are one of the very few untouched places in Thailand. Other than a small Moken village and park premises, there are no other buildings on the islands.

The Moken are sea nomads that traditionally lived and travelled the Andaman Sea between Thailand and Burma. In the 1990th they started to settle on Koh Surin permanently. Before the Tsunami in December 2004, two Moken villages were located in “Sai End” and “Ao Bon Lek”, counting about 20 households in each village.
