But is she a scuba diver...or better yet a dive industry professional
Geographically, anything below Chumporn or Surat Thani most Thais would consider "Pak Thai" or southern Thailand. However, most Thai based scuba industry professionals would put Phuket in the "southern Andaman" only if they counted a northern and southern Andamans in their minds, with northern being the Similans/Surin area and southern anything below that so Phuket, Phi-Phi, Lanta, Daeng/Muang, and Lipe. However, personally I break it up into north, central, and south areas with Phuket/Phi-Phi in the central and Lanta and sites south as "Southern Andaman." To each their own.
