Similans update!

[Zippsy]

I had lucky timing last year. I was in and around the Similans for the one week last January when it was perfect conditions. November to mid January were pretty bad last season. It clouded up again then claered later in later February.

This year I have heard that it is fairly normal again with good viz, normal temps and mantas at Koh Bon. If I was one of the unlucky ones last year, I'd be heading back now.
