- We visited the Surin Islands to experience the best diving in Thailand! We decided to make this a vlog & guide with information about tours to the Surin Islands, the dive locations, accommodations options, available facilities (& more!) because we couldn't find a lot of information about it when we looked... so we're hoping to share it with others who also love diving! :)
*Sorry for the noisy audio sometimes! We did not know much about the islands/storage options for our belongings and decided not to bring our normal camera setup! Hope its ok anyways! :)
We're Brandi & Alan, full-time travelers and creators since 2018. We post fun vlogs and informative guides to both document our travels and help you on your own journey.

As a Thai .This is my favorite island so far.I had been there for 3 times,first time before Tsunami .But every time when i was there make me very impressed.
It is so beautiful! That’s interesting you got to visit so long ago. Has the Coral and sea life changed over time?? Or after the tsunami?
Yes! We Thai people remember before 😢 but now keep going they try to the building for nice place. Everywhere so beautiful. Nice trip for yourself. Safety first. Good luck 🥰🏂🪂🤽🧜🧚🏌️🚴🏊
@@IfWeGoTo Welcome back again please if possible
@@imonmywaybyoreo thank you so much!! 😊 🙏 we DEFINITELY want to come back, hopefully sooner than later!
ไปไหนมาไหนท่องเที่ยวระมัดระวัง คำนึงถึงความปลอดภัยเป็นอันดับแรกไว้ก่อน.. หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์สวยมาก จะมีช่วงทึ่ปิดอุทยานยาวหลายเดือนด้วย ดีที่พวกคุณไปช่วงนี้
ขอบคุณสำหรับคำแนะนำที่ดี ใช่ ดีใจที่เราได้ไปเมื่อสวนเปิดและไม่ใช่ฤดูมรสุม
Been there 10 years ago...very stunning beautiful island and still stunning there days. Will go again. Thx for marvelous under water vdo. ขอบคุณค่ะ
Thank you!! The islands were just beautiful! Wish we could have seen them 10 years ago!!!
I once had a trip to this island with my family when I was a little kid (20+ years ago). It was 100% controlled by National Park, so no hotel, flashy resort, nor the restaurant (That's why the nature condition of this island is always at the top notch). We had to spend our night in wood bungalow (no AC, of course) or tent, and had our meal at National Park's cafeteria.
I even remember that my dad woke up in the middle of the night to have the battle against a giant centipede that invaded our bungalow. What a priceless memory. lol
Haha yeah it seems things have only changed a little bit in 20 years. Glad to hear the national parks system is taking care of the islands.
What a beautiful island! And the color of the sea, the blue sky and the voice of the birds. It's the best. I felt like I was traveling. The remote islands of Asia are good places.
Yes the Surin Islands are a dream of paradise. We are definitely looking forward to documenting more of Asia's islands. Especially before the coral is gone.
OMG. I have never seen such beautiful underwater photos from a TH-camr. You recorded very beautifully. Thank you. I didn't miss every minute and enjoy with you. have a safe trip
Wow thank you!!! 😃 glad you enjoyed it!! We had a lovely time in Thailand, hope to visit again soon!
Looks beautiful, peaceful, suitable for vacations in Thailand. Thank Guys 😍😍🍻🍻👍👍
It is wonderful!! Thank you so much!!
Loved the video! The snorkeling is super awesome.
Thank you!!! It was a fun one to make!!
Welcome to Thailand and have a good time
Thank you !
Surin island is the best snorkeling in Thailand. There are small wood bungalows and tents for rent. Suitable for people who love nature and peace.
Enjoy it now. Waste water, sewage, gas and oil will pollute it.
@@majorkade Over fishing, over tourism and water temperature rising are also ruin these underwater beauty. Even though the way we protect these area are better than the past but I think it still not good enough.
@@roongrotratanapichetkul6122 you're correct
Surin Islands (not Surin Province ‼️) has the close period to recover. Please carefully check the open period with the local before you go there.
Very beautiful VDO and exciting to watch your visiting. Hope you enjoy for all things.
Thank you so much!! We had an amazing visit in Thailand. 😃
Mind blowing, it likes in the aquarium.
Haha absolutely like diving in an aquarium!
Really great videos…glad I found this channel. 🤙
Thanks for watching Paul. Next time we make it out to South Victoria maybe you can be in one of our videos!
OH MY GOD YOUR CAMERA WORK IS …….MARVELLOUS!!
Thank you so much!🙏🥰🇹🇭
Wowwww!! Thank you so much! So happy you enjoyed it!!
Beautiful Vlog ❤ My favorite place in Phang Nga is Koh Surin.
Thank you. Next time we will definitely check out Koh Surin. There is so much more Thailand to see !
Love this guys. This does look pristine and uncrowded. Added to our list as is your channel. I love the way you put this together and will try to work some elements into our work. Form of flattery :) Cheers!
Yeah the Surin Islands are wonderful, you should definitely go! Also thanks for watching, glad you could get some ideas from us too.
Surin island is in my bucket list
It’s so amazing!!! Definitely worth a visit!
Oh yesss! I was at Surin Island trip yesterday. It was only 1 day not a nigth. It was beautiful in the water! Cool video
So happy you got to experience it too! We agree! It is amazing there!!
@@IfWeGoTo12:01 lol I also had that guide
เป็นวิดีโอใต้ท้องทะเลที่สวยงามมาก ยอดเยี่ยมมากครับ ผมเคยไปเมื่อ 35 ปีที่แล้วมีฝูงปลาโลมาว่ายแข่งกับเรือด้วย มีข้อระวังนิดหนึ่งคือบางพื้นที่ใต้ทะเลเป็นสุสานฝังศพของชาวมอแกนในอดีต ซึ่งไกด์จะบอกว่าไม่ควรเข้าไป แต่ไม่มีอันตรายครับ แค่บางคนอาจตกใจกลัว
ขอบคุณ!! มีความสุขมากที่คุณสนุกกับวิดีโอ หมู่เกาะมีความสวยงาม มันน่าทึ่งมากที่คุณได้เห็นมันเมื่อ 35 ปีที่แล้ว เราได้แต่จินตนาการว่าแนวปะการังนั้นแข็งแรงแค่ไหนในตอนนั้น พวกเขาไม่ได้กล่าวถึงสถานที่ฝังศพของชาวมอแกน น่าสนใจที่จะได้เห็น!
แนวปะการังฝั่งอันดามันของไทย ส่วนใหญ่เสียหายจากสึนามิ ปี 2004 แต่มีผู้เสียชีวิตน้อยที่หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์เพราะบรรพบุรุษของชาวมอแกนมีการบอกต่อว่า ถ้าน้ำทะเลลดลงผิดปรกติให้รีบอพยพ คนส่วนใหญ่รีบหนีขึ้นที่สูงทันที สมัยนั้นคนไทยส่วนใหญ่ยังไม่รู้จักสึนามิ
Wonderful video 👍
Thank you!!! 😃
Thanks for all sharing 😊😊
Thanks for watching!!! 😃
ดีใจที่เห็นลอยยิ้มของคุณทั้งสอง ขอให้สนุกในการท่องเที่ยวในประเทศของฉัน
ขอบคุณ!! เรามีช่วงเวลาที่น่าตื่นตาตื่นใจในการมาเยือนประเทศไทย !!! 😃
Speechless
Thanks You For Very Very Beautiful Underwater World Of THAILAND 🇹🇭
Wow thank you so much!! The Surin islands were just incredible!! Thailand has some of the best natural features!!!
ภาพใต้น้ำที่สวยงาม👍👍😍
ขอบคุณ ดีใจที่คุณชอบพวกเขา!
Have a nice trip
Thank you!! We had an amazing time!!
Wow 😯 that beach looked awesome. The super clear water was very cool 😎. So glad yall are experiencing all this. That boat was a little load though lol 🥴. I would be on the look out for that crocodile 🐊 🤣.
Yeah the Surin Islands are a dream. Also the croc is nothing, the real thing to worry about are the sharks !
@IfWeGoTo I meant to say the boat was a little loud lol.
I'm thai. Your clip video so amazing and beautiful . I think your present will drive this island to famous place in the world.
Thanks for the praise. Also I'm conflicted about making the Surin Islands famous. On one hand, more exposure means more resources to protect them. On the other, too much visibility and they may succumb to mass tourism like other beautiful Thai islands, e.g. Phuket. Still we chose to make this film in an attempt to capture the islands as they are. Tourism or not coral reefs are unfortunately at risk of disappearing.
I living in Bangkok, I think once day i will sleep in tents in the middle of nature would be peaceful and relax. I forgot to think that nature has bugs and noise all night long. Until I came to see your video hahaha but whatever your footage so impressive. Cheers!
Hahha yes, the bugs were very loud, but it is relaxing in a way too?
Thank you for your comment, it means a lot to hear that you enjoyed it! Cheers! :D
I bet many locals also prefer tours. A little premiums for ensuring dive spots and hassle free.
Absolutely! The tour was awesome and completely worry free. I’d only recommend forgoing the tour if you wanted to stay a long time!
@@IfWeGoTo If you enjoy this trip, I recommend you to try visiting Koh Lipe. It offers you very nice dive spots and also variety of foods and accomodations.
Next time we visit Thailand we will definitely add it to our list!! We love quiet islands with good diving!! Thank you for the recommendation!!
@@IfWeGoTo ถ้าจะไปเองมีเรือของบริษัทกรีนวิว อยู่คุระบุรี มีเรือพาไปเกาะและรับกลับอย่างเดียว ไม่รวมทริปดำน้ำคุณจะอยู่นานๆก็ได้ ส่วนทริปดำน้ำวันไหน ที่อยากดำน้ำค่อยไปติดต่ออีกทีก็ได้ 😊
Welcome to watch your clip. It's very beautiful. I'm from Phuket. Yes, many corals were destroyed from the 2004 tsunami and the heat of the water increased due to global warming. I like to spend the night many times, the sea, the beautiful sandy beaches. Diving to see coral reefs and aquatic animals Welcome tourists from around the world to Thailand.
Thank you for your warm welcome!
ปะการังสวยงามมาก ฉันเคยไปเกาะสุรินทร์แค่วันเดียว และดำน้ำไม่กี่จุด วีดีโอของพวกคุณเยี่ยมยอดมาก เรียกว่าดำน้ำแทบครบทุกจุดของเกาะ สวยจริงๆ
ขอบคุณที่รับชม ดีใจที่คุณได้ชื่นชมปะการัง!
I'm Thai, but I haven't seen as much as you!
Thank you ❤️
Thank you!! I hope you get to make it out to the islands soon!!
Welcome to Thailand.havea nice trip and i hope you backto Thailand aGain
Thank you! We loved our time in Thailand, can't wait to visit again. Thanks for watching!
It's a good video. May you have a good experience in the land of Siam.
Thank you!! So happy you enjoyed it! We had an amazing time in Thailand. Such a wonderful country!!
สวยงามมากค่ะ❤
ขอบคุณ หมู่เกาะยังสวยงาม!
ติดตามแล้วนะครับ ขอให้คุณทั้งคู่สนุกกับประเทศไทยในบ้านหลังที่2ครับ ยอนดีต้อนรับ
ขอบคุณมาก! เรารักประเทศไทย!!
Discovered you guys a few days ago. I'm really enjoying your content. This location looks right up my alley. You said the company offers round-trip from your hotel but where did you leave from?
Thank you so much, we’re really happy you’re enjoying it! The islands are stunning and definitely worth a visit!!
And it seems like we forgot that important little detail 😅 hahaha. We stayed in a town called Khao Lak, but I believe they also have tours leaving from Phuket too!
Did you get a good tan Alan! Should be in just swim trunks more often! ❤🎉
Great video you guys I am so interested in visiting this island although I come to find that it is not open year-round. I think it’s only open from October to May.
Yes, it is only open during the dry season! Hope you get to visit when the time of year is right!!
ผมเคยมาเที่ยวเกาะนี้ ควรระวังพวกฉลามด้วย นิสัยไม่ทำร้ายคน อย่าทำให้ตกใจกลัวเราน่ะครับ ดำน้ำใต้ทะลสวยงดงามมากจริงๆ ชมดูปะการังใต้ทะเล ที่พักท่องเที่ยวบริการยอดเยี่ยมมาก บรรยากาศดีมากๆ😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
ใช่มันสนุกมาก นอกจากนี้เรายังเห็นฉลามบางตัว แต่ก็ไม่เป็นอันตราย
@@IfWeGoTo ใต้ทะเล ดูปะการังสวยงามมาก ฝูงปลาใต้ทะเลเยอะมากมาย แหล่งนักท่องเที่ยวชื่นชอบการผจญภัยใต้ทะเลมาก ต้องระวังพวกฉลามด้วย บางตัวก็ไม่ทำร้ายคน อย่าไปทำตกใจกลัวคน อาจจะมาทำร้ายเราก็ได้ ต้องมีผู้เชี่ยวชาญคอยดูแลใกล้ชิดกับนักท่องเที่ยวดำน้ำใต้ทะเลเกาะนี้มากด้วย☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
สถานที่ดำน้ำ เกาะหลีเป๊ะ ( koh Lipe ) ที่นั้น สวยมาก ต้องไปเที่ยวนะคะ
ครั้งต่อไปอย่างแน่นอน เราเพิ่งเริ่มสำรวจประเทศไทย เกาะหลีเป๊ะ อยู่ในลิสต์!
Probably the best place for snorkeling in Thailand.
Totally agree!! We did a lot of research hoping to find some healthy and loved coral reefs!! It was spectacular 🤩
Thanks for an informative video. Please can you give the details of how to do the tour the way you did it, or the way you recommended you would do it the next time.
Anytime!! We booked our tour online through "Snorkeling Thailand", but it was rebranded through "SeaStar", so you could probably get it from Seastar cheaper.
I'd recommend booking the tour for non-residents or if you are on vacation so you don't have to worry about anything at all!! If you are a resident or visiting longer term, I would do it the DIY way!
น้ำใสมาก เห็นฉลามด้วย ถ่ายวิดีโอได้ดีครับ น่าไปดำน้ำ😊
ขอบคุณมาก!! ที่นั่นสวยมาก!
As a Thai. This Place is not famous like Puket ,Krabi etc.
Because this place is a national park. And this year, open during 15 oct 22 - 15 may 23 only.☺☺
Welcome to Thailand. 🥰🥰😘😘
Sorry for my Eng.
Yes I'm glad the Surin Islands aren't famous. It seems sometimes Thailand can be a victim of its own beauty and success. Hopefully they stay a quiet place that only those interested in nature go.
Also thanks for the welcome! Your English is great too.
Your new subscriber from India 😅
Thank you!! Was so awesome to meet you!
ทะเลสวยงามมาก
ตกลง! มันเป็นอย่างแน่นอน
Hi, nice informative video! What did you do with you main holiday luggage? Did you keep the hotel room you transferred from while on the trip? Thanks
Hello! Thank you! So happy to hear it was informative!
We kept most of our luggage at our “home base” in Khao Lak! We had double booked there and the Surin islands because the rooms were affordable and the staff had a back room where they kept our valuables locked on our 3 day trip. A nicer hotel may be willing to just hold your bags for a couple of days if you don’t want to double book, but I would call to inquire just in case! :)
When Brandi has her glasses on she kinda looks like Kat Timpf (or vise-versa)
Hahaha I had not heard of her prior, but I could see it!!
great video! I noticed you were diving to see the fish. I only know how to snorkel with the snorkel out of the water for air. Can is still see everything from on top of the water snorkeling and not diving with the snorkel? How would i breathe??? lol!
Thank you!! You can still see plenty from the water's surface!! Don't worry! :)
Very. Beautiful !
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video!!! 🥰
Ayeeee😍
Thank you!! ❤️
ยินดีต้อนรับสู่ประเทศไทยคะ เที่ยวให้สนุกนะคะภาพใต้ทะเลสวยมากๆเลยคะ🥰
ขอบคุณ เราพยายามอย่างดีที่สุด!
Welcome to Thailand have a good trip
Thank you and we did !
very beautiful place. I’m wondering do you take your own snorkel gear?
Agreed!! We did bring our own, but the tour provides gear too! If you’re going without a tour they have it for rent on the island!
Hope that helps!!
เที่ยวให้สนุกนะครับ
ขอบคุณ!!
So beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Oh..Wonderful trips.. Both of you so Beautiful & Handsom on national nice scene.
Thank you!! So happy you enjoyed it!
I'm Thai Surin island, Similan Island, Tachai Island and Ko hong Island are the best for me.
We will definitely need to check out more of the islands!
😃👍👍
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
So beautiful
Thank you!!!
i like your video very much. I will subscribe you now😊😊
Thank you so much!!!
Alan’s skin is so beautiful. Can he do a skin care routine video 😝
I wash my skin with whatever soap is around. Glad I look good for it though lol
@@IfWeGoTo that’s incredible. You are just blessed with good looks
So sad to see most corals died at Surin Islands. I remembered how amazing of coral and sea creatures when I snorkeled there 20 years ago. 😢
yeah it is super super heartbreaking to see our reefs suffering. when we were out swimming some patches of water were SO hot... like as hot as a hot shower or bath. And lots of fishing boats that should not have been there were around. I can see why the reefs are struggling.
If it gives you any hope, some corals will likely overcome what's happening. When studying our local corals in college, a previously ecologically devastated area was making a very quick comeback and some corals were growing back quite quickly - quickly in terms of corals anyways. It will probably take a very long time though!
What a wonderful trip! made me wanna visit too.
I'm from Phuket. Yes, many corals were destroyed from the 2004 tsunami and the heat of the water increased due to global warming. I like to spend the night many times, the sea, the beautiful sandy beaches. Diving to see coral reefs and aquatic animals Welcome tourists from around the world to Thailand.
What travel agency did you have the trip organized with?😊
Hi!! We used "Snorkeling Thailand", but I think they booked it through "Sea Star" and marked it up - either way, we had a great time and would recommend either!!
Don't touch the coral I Saw Some foreigner catch them causing the corals to die Thank you Have Fun Farang
Thank you!! Yes never touch coral or the wildlife! We saw some kid on one of the boats touching the coral and giant clams. Very frustrating!! 😩
❤️😂😂
Thank you!!
How to get o Surin islands from Phuket (Nai Harn Beach)?
Hi!! You may want to check on google for your exact options. When we looked there were transit options available to get from Phuket to Khao Lak, where they leave for the Surin Islands. There may be tours that run directly from Phuket OR your tour to the islands may offer a pick up/drop off option as well.
Hope that helps! :)
棒
谢谢你！
Hi👍👍👍✌✌✌✌
Hello! What's up!?
Hi guys, Nice Video, how much have you paid for this trip? thank you 😁
Thank you very much!! For both of us for 3 days we paid I believe around $400 USD - that included everything though. The boat rides, food, every dive, accommodations, etc etc. I think if you did it as a DIY trip you could get away with maybe half that price though!
@@IfWeGoTo thank's guys , keep up the good work!! 😁
@@aseavagabonds7532 Anytime! if you have any other questions about it, don't hesitate to reach out!! :D
Surin Islands (not Surin Province ‼️) has the close period to recover. Please carefully check the open period with the local before you go there.
Thanks for the helpful reminder!!!
get a z pack at the local pharmacy thye cost $14 for a two pack this will help your stomach
That's some good info. Luckily bismuth and loperamide kept us alive lol
I want to go to Surin Island but too bad I can't swim
You could always go and ask to wear a life jacket! We saw a few people doing that and snorkeling can be enjoyed from the surface!!
Are you certified divers?
Hi there! Yes, we’re certified for scuba. Haven’t been for free diving yet though.
Surinians are not Thai at all, they are from Myanmar (Burma). so are the long neck people.
Hmm I don't think we said that they were of either nationality, but regardless, they are located throughout the islands in both of these countries.
