We were so pleased with the snorkeling we had done, we decided to go on another trip. Margot did some research and found another set of islands, the Similan Islands National Park located in the Andaman Sea. She found a small tour operator called Love Andaman who runs what feels like a more personalized tour to the island of Tachai, which is only open for 6 months each year. This time there were only 16 people on the boat. The snorkeling was great and the beaches had the whitest, finest sand we have ever seen - which made the crystal blue water appear even more bright turquoise. We had sun and clouds this day, but that worked out well to keep us from getting too sun burnt. This excursion was definitely a highlight of our trip and something we would recommend to anyone staying in Phuket.
