Koh Surin National Park
 This
is a group of five islands situated close to the marine boundary
between Burma and Thailand in Khuraburi. Because of its distance
from the coast it so far has been little visit and it is a protected
area. The shallow channel between the two principal islands - about
two meters at high tide-has one of the most remarkable panoplies of
coral reef life to be found anywhere. Scuba gear is by no means
necessary to get a good look at the reefs, a mere snorkel and mask
is sufficient. It is making this a perfect destination for those who
would like to have the experience of
diving but have no time for a
scuba course. Accommodations at the National Park are Spartan,
but the modest inconvenience of roughing it will be amply rewarded
by the experience supplied.
