Overview
Surin Islands – Home of the Moken Sea Gypsies & Thailand’s Last Untouched Diving Frontier
Nestled within the Surin Islands National Marine Park near Thailand’s border with Myanmar, the Surin Islands are home to pristine coral reefs, turquoise waters, and the indigenous Moken sea gypsy community — one of the last remaining nomadic seafaring tribes in the region.
Beyond their cultural richness, the surrounding waters offer world-class diving, with vibrant coral gardens, playful reef fish, and a serene, untouched atmosphere. Divers can encounter turtles, barracudas, and occasional pelagic visitors, all while exploring sites far less crowded than other Thai destinations.
A visit to the Surin Islands isn’t just a dive trip — it’s an immersion into a timeless way of life, where ocean and people coexist in harmony. Join DiveRACE liveaboard to experience the magic of the Surin Islands and the legendary warmth of the Moken community, above and below the surface.
Discover the Surin Islands and get to know its dive sites through our Dive With Us series: Ao Pakard.
