In 1982, this 128 square kilometre area was declared a marine national park, and in recent years the group of nine small islands (Similan is derived from the Malay sembilan, and means nine) has become one of the leading attractions for visitors to southern Thailand. The islands are renowned among divers for their rich coral reefs, clear waters and pristine beaches. The best diving months are between December and May.
