Little kids Chill Out @Surin Islands Snorkeling to see Nemo for the first time in their lives

Dad and Mom have been to Surin Island many times before. They went snorkeling there.

I remember that the underwater world at Surin Islands was very beautiful. There were many hard corals, a lot of fish, and I even saw a sea turtle there.

This time, we will take the little ones to see some real fish, like in Finding Nemo, in a real underwater setting.

This review is for SR. What the Tiny family got from this trip was:

Round-trip flight tickets Bangkok-Phuket

Airport transfer

One-day trip to the Surin Islands

2 nights accommodation in Khao Lak with breakfast included

The little girl has been traveling since she was 5 months old. You can see the story of her travels here.

https://www.youtube.com/user/DekJewChillOut This time we traveled with Air Asia from Don Mueang Airport in the afternoon.

The atmosphere is not chaotic and crowded like in the mornings.

The Baggage Drop counter is now open for those who have already checked in online. It's super convenient and only takes a moment.

Take a photo with a cute scene and recommend a new route for Air Asia.

Before boarding the plane, the little boy was eagerly looking forward to eating food on the plane. His mother said that this time she had ordered his favorite sticky rice with mango for him.

I was told to wake her up if she fell asleep, but when the food actually arrived, no matter how much I tried to wake her up, she wouldn't budge. So I had to pack her macaroni and cheese to go and give it to the kids for dinner instead.

Mom and Dad finished the sticky rice with grilled chicken and flatfish. We always order this menu. That is, when we find that this is delicious, we order it every time.

Let me talk about sticky rice with mango for a moment. Because the taste is much better than it looks.

At first, Air brought it to us ice cold, and we were like... um, shouldn't it be warm? Did you forget? The sticky rice will be hard if it's cold like this.

I took out the envelope and read it. It said, "Eat cold, no need to heat."

When I opened it up, the sticky rice was so soft and delicious, just the way we like it. The mango was also sweet and delicious. I felt so sorry for the children, they couldn't have any...

As soon as I landed and turned on my phone, I received a call from Andaman Passion. They told me that my car registration was complete and that they were waiting for me outside.

This time we used the Transfer service from Andaman Passion. It's another option that we really like because normally when we come to Phuket we rent a car, but this time we were going to an island, so it wouldn't make sense to rent a car and just leave it parked. Using a transfer service like this was very convenient.

The car that picked me up was an Altis. The interior was clean and smelled good. I sat for a long time on the way to Khao Lak, but I didn't feel dizzy at all.

It took about an hour to get to the hotel in Khao Lak.

The truth is that I once used a taxi service from the airport to the city center. It was a van and the price was quite high. Plus, the driver took me to his house.

He said he'd like to stop by and pick something up.

Thank you to the Andaman Passion driver for safely delivering me to my destination and not taking me to their home.

This Khao Lak hotel was a place we really wanted to stay at, and it really didn't disappoint.

This will be the next review. In the morning, a van from Love Andaman picked us up at the hotel at 7:30 am.

We arrived at Thap Lamu Pier in no time. This time, the place has changed a lot.

At the beginning of last year, we went to Tachaii with Love. The venue was the Navy Club, and the bathrooms weren't very convenient.

This time, there are check-in locations, comfortable seats, and most importantly, clean, comfortable, and plentiful bathrooms.

The little ones asked for breakfast first because when dad and mom had breakfast at the hotel early in the morning, the children were not awake yet.

Let's walk to the pier together after we're full.

Let's listen to the guide's introduction to Surin Island. They will provide a rough schedule for today, as well as dos and don'ts to follow.

Feeding fish with bread is strictly prohibited. Please refrain from feeding the fish as it disrupts the natural life cycle of the fish and coral reefs in the sea.

Do not step on or stand on the coral (the guide forbids it, but we saw some people doing it).

The little child listened very intently and will follow all the instructions.

Our guide today is named Guide U. It's easy to remember because his name is the same as my dad's.

Today's tourists are mostly Thai, with 3-4 foreigners. When the guide explains something, they speak twice, once in Thai and once in English.

Let's go! Children, don't forget to wear life jackets for safety. It will take about an hour and a half to reach Koh Surin.

The first stop after leaving Ao Nemo was the Moken village.

(The schedule for changing stops may vary depending on the current, wind, and number of other boats. The guide will adjust the schedule as appropriate.)

We have arrived at the Moken village in Ao Bon Yai.

The sky is clear today, the sun is shining brightly, but the weather is not too hot. This is the advantage of visiting the sea during the winter.

After the tsunami devastated homes, Moken people and volunteers returned to rebuild houses in Ao Bon Yai.

It is a community that seems to be permanent and growing. Here, everyone has the same last name: Glataalay.

We walked around here for a while. The Moken people will have handicrafts for sale.

What I really like is the wood carving. The uncle is sitting there carving it. It's so beautiful. Real craftsmanship.

This small community has a learning center, a school, and public health facilities, truly living a self-sufficient life.

Every house here has either a Sea View or a Beach Front, all with stunning views.

Originally, Guide Wu was going to take us diving at Nemo Bay first. However, since there were already many tourist boats parked at Nemo Bay, we changed to diving at Mae Ya Bay first.

We have arrived at Ao Mae Ya. The water is so clear that we can see the coral reefs under the water.

Here we had the chance to see a sea anemone up close, with a clownfish of the same orange and white species as Nemo.

Because this gony is on a relatively shallow coral reef.

The little boy saw Nemo in the real sea for the first time. He was so excited that he bragged about it to his friends at the big school.

This time, the little boy went diving using only regular swimming goggles and holding his breath, as he still doesn't know how to use a snorkel.

Diving is fun. Sometimes I bend down to look at the fish, sometimes I ride on my mother's back. It's fun for the child, but the mother is tired.

It's lunchtime, so we're going ashore at North Surin Island, which is the headquarters of the Surin Islands National Park.

This island has a park restaurant, accommodation, and a camping area.

While the Love Andaman team prepares the food, the little ones can go play in the water and sand at Ao Channel Khad first.

Taking a break to recharge, then I'll continue playing in the water.

Full, let's go play in the sea at Ao Chong Khad.

They were running and playing in the sea because the water level had receded significantly, leaving shallow seawater. They could walk far and the water was still shallow. The children loved it and had fun running and playing.
