          At the top north of Andaman Sea, only 8 km. from the Thailand-Myanmar border is located an archipelago acclaimed the most beautiful and abundant shallow water coral reefs of Thailand, one of the last natural sources that is still in splendid conditions.

          At this place, the tropical rain forests, the most diverse ecology system on the land, meet the coral reefs, the most diverse ecology system in the sea. That is the reason why Surin is one of the most popular national park in Thailand.
