&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Similan Islands, a beautiful archipelago in the Andaman Sea, located around 120 kilometers northwest of Phuket. The majority of visitors come for a day trip, but staying for two days is the ideal way to experience the Similan islands. It&#39;s a little out of the way from Phuket, and a speedboat ride can be exhausting. You&#39;ll have some fantastic beaches nearly entirely to yourself in the morning and evening, that will surely give a priceless experience. To get there, hire a trip that takes you around for some snorkeling before dropping you off on the main island, where there is a restaurant and minimal lodging. Divers will surely have a good time visiting this archipelago from Phuket due to its countless diving spots to go. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The archipelago offers&amp;nbsp;nine islands, but you&#39;ll only have time to see two or three of them and you&amp;rsquo;ll be good to go. One of the best spots provides a majestic view of massive rocks sitting on a hill overlooking the bay&#39;s extremely beautiful sea. You&#39;ll arrive early in the morning with only a few hours to examine it and possibly climb to the top, but do it if you can, the view from up there is worth it!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Your speedboat will most likely make a second stop near another island where you can snorkel. The water is consistently warm, and visibility is excellent. It&#39;s as if you&#39;re hovering above coral formations surrounded by tens of thousands of brightly colored fish. If you can observe sea turtles swimming near the boat, that would be an ideal and memorable experience.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
