Recently, the park was expanded to included two remote islands named Ko Bon and Ko Tachai. The Similans are situated 70 kilometres from Phang Nga town. "Similan" is a Yawi word which means "nine".

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND IN MALAYSIA
Redang Island, Malaysia
This is the most beautiful island in the world. We called it "The Island of Paradise" as the best part of this
Island is the Marine Park.
Usually you would find beautiful fishes when you swim deep into the ocean or when you swim far away from the beach. But this is not the case for the Marine Park in Redang Island. You could see and swim with several species of colorful fishes by just swiming near the beaches. I remember I was only about 10 feet from the shore when the water was only 6 feet deep, I was surrounded by these beautiful fishes. The experience was incredible and beautiful. You could actually see and watch these fishes swimming around and across you as if you were living in an alien world.
Hope you love all the documentary films above.
Luv always,
