The Similan Islands is a group of islands in the Andaman Sea off the coast of, and part of, Phang Nga Province, southern Thailand. It is a national park, Mu Ko Similan, which was established in 1982 after a one-year assessment by the forestry department.
The park is an archipelago consisting of 11 islands, occupying an area of approximately 140 km2 with a land area of about 26 km2. For convenience, the Thai Department of National Parks (DNP) has assigned numbers to the islands. From north to south, they are:
Island 11: Ko Tachai
Island 10: Ko Bon, also known as Ko Talu
Island 9: Ko Ba-ngu, also known as Ko Bayu
Island 8: Ko Similan
Island 7: Ko Hin Pousar
Island 6: Ko Payu, also known as Ko Pa Yu
Island 5: Ko Ha
Island 4: Ko Miang, also known as Ko Meang. Park HQ is here.
Island 3: Ko Payan, also known as Ko Pa Yan
Island 2: Ko Payang, also known as Ko Pa Yang
Island 1: Ko Huyong, also known as Ko Hu Yong
The Similans lie 70 kilometres off the coast of Phang Nga Province. "Similan" is a Yawi word meaning "nine". Ko Bon and Tachai were added to the national park in 1998.
