It\u2019s common to think that in a country as touristy as Thailand, everything is overcrowded and overrun by international brands. While this doesn\u2019t detract from the undeniable beauty of places like Phuket<\/strong> or Koh Samui<\/strong>, on those islands, it\u2019s typical to enjoy a more holiday-like atmosphere. But if you\u2019re seeking nature and remote locations, those exist too. This guide to Koh Surin aims to reveal a paradise far from the tourist industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koh Surin<\/strong> isn\u2019t easy to reach, which is one of the reasons it remains uncrowded. Another reason is that it\u2019s a protected national park, with a seabed considered by some to be one of the top ten in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can visit the island on an organized day tour, but that\u2019s just a taste of what it offers. Ideally, you should spend at least one night on Koh Surin<\/strong>, though accommodation is limited to tents and there\u2019s only a small canteen for meals. Phone reception is sparse, and electricity is only available during the night. And, of course, there\u2019s no hot water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In exchange for these basic conditions\u2014 which add to the charm of the place\u2014 the beaches are mostly deserted during the day, there\u2019s no pollution, and you can explore the sea like in very few other places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
