Similan Islands; The world’s best diving

The Similan Islands (Thai: เกาะสิมิลัน) is a group of islands in the Andaman Sea off the coast of Phang Nga Province, southern Thailand. It is a national park which was established in 1982.
Similan Islands National Park was established after the one-year exploration by the Foresty department. The park is the archipelago consisting of nine islands which are Ko Bon, Ko Bayu, Ko Similan, Ko Payu, Ko Miang (two adjoining islands), Ko Payan, Ko Payang, and Ko Huyong. Recently, the park was expanded to included two remoted islands which are Ko Bon and Ko Tachai. The Similans are situated 70 kilometres from Phang Nga town. “Similan” is a Yawi word which means “nine”. Similan is one of the most famous diving sites in Thailand.
It is located at 8°39′09″N, 97°38′27″E

The Similan national park is famous for its divesites. It has typically 2 different kind of diving. East side diving consists of gently sloping coral reefs with sandy patches and the occasional boulder in between. West side diving is known for its huge underwater granite boulders with numerous swimthroughs. Maybe the most famous east side dive site is East of Eden, off Island number 7. Elephant head rock is arguably the most famous west side dive site with a maze of swimthroughs and the reputation for spin-cycle like currents running in every direction.

Elephant head rock was named by Horst Hinrichs from Germany in the mid 70s, founder of one of the oldest dive shops in Phuket, Santana Diving.

Other popular divesites include North Point, Deep Six, Boulder City and the awesome pinnacles off Koh Bon and Koh Tachai.

The mother of all divesites in the Similans, which is actually part of Surin national park, is Richelieu Rock. Famous for its incomparable variety and abundance of marine life. Whale shark sightings are not uncommon here.

However, since 1999, its once most beautiful dive site, the Fantasy Reef, has been closed from all diving activities after its condition had significantly deteriorated. the National Park officially blames diving for the deterioration, while dive operators in the area claims that fishing boats, with or without permission, enter the national park during low season, when no dive operators are allowed in the national park.[1] The national park also claims that the dive site suffered significant damage from the tsunami in 2004. Since noone but the national park staff is allowed to dive Fantasy Reef it is impossible to oppose to that statement, but still, The argument has been used for the government in order to extend the closure period.

“Its methodology is in taking care of a person’s health by prevention not cure. If we fully understand the Spa process there is no reason to use products with pollutants when attempting to detoxify the poisons in our body.”

Please tell us briefly about your background?
I was born in Nakornratchasrima but grew up in Bangkok. I studied dentistry at Mahidol University and when I graduated, I came to work in Phang Nga Hospital. After a year of work I was offered a chance to work in Phuket at Vachira Phuket Hospital.

The pattern of my life was pretty similar to that of an ordinary person: After graduation, I started work, married, and had a baby. But with the arrival of my baby, life changed : I found that after giving birth I wanted to look after my child myself rather than work and have someone else look after her. So I quit my job as a dentist and started becoming a full time mum.

Why are you interested in therapy?
I think I have always been interested in issues to do with health care but my passion for the therapeutic side really took off whilst I was at University because I had more time to study it. The more I read the more interested I became and the more I wanted to read and learn about all aspects of it. In fact, I found that what I thought I knew was actually not a lot in the grand scheme of things and this triggered my natural curiosity to want to learn more. I wanted to explore new areas I had not discovered and broaden my knowledge so I could use it to benefit people. Another important factor for me was my child. I knew I needed to be a healthy person so I could best raise and nurture her. By quitting my job to pursue this it would also ensure I would be able to spend the maximum amount of time taking care of her.

Why has your major focus now become the Sukko Spa?

As I mentioned before the two main reasons are because of my interest in ‘Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine’ and due to my love for my child as I know the benefits it has to offer her. Indeed, because of this I have begun seriously studying ‘Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine’ and in particular the area of ‘unhealthy prevention’. For as the proverb states ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’. Thus has become my motto.

Tell us about your conception of Sukko Spa?
Actually Sukko Spa’s conception came out of the fact that myself and my family all tried to use natural harmless products in every aspect of our lives. When I began to learn and gain more knowledge regarding this I thought I would like to share my ideas or even what I knew about bio-organic consumptions with other people. Thus, because I personally enjoyed practicing Sukko Spa even though I knew it was not well known in Phuket I decided I would like to awaken others to its potential and benefits. As a result myself and my friend Khun Piyawan Kingkaew set up the Sukko Spa Academy to educate professional therapists.

And after the Spa Academy?
We have started our small Spa in the Srisuchart area and with our on going experience we believe we can expand and spread our ideas further. Ultimately it is our aim to tell the world about the pride we have in Thailand and the pride of our Thai Spa. Importantly we have learned that a ‘wellness retreat’ mirrors the Thai life style.

With this in mind we moved to our current place and developed Sukko Spa to become the Thai Cultural Spa as it is known today.
Please define the Spa in your opinion

Spa is the art of detoxifying and activating the lymphatic system. Its methodology is in taking care of a person’s health by prevention not cure. If we fully understand the Spa process there is no reason to use products with pollutants when attempting to detoxify the poisons in our body. We use harmless products which do not incorporate sodium sulfate. The ingredients for our products are of the same standard of those used in pharmaceutical medicines.
What is the next project for Sukko Spa?
We are always looking to enlarge and expand Sukko Spa. We have launched or are launching activities such as; Muay Thai Chaiya, Yoga, and even Spa cuisine with anti-oxidant herbs and spices. Afterwards we will open our resort in August. We consider that the majority of tourists visiting Phuket are here for relaxation and leisure and this gave us the idea of incorporating their desires into the Thai way of life.

Nowadays it seems like everyone is concerned about the issue of global warming. How can Sukko Spa help?
In this respect we are not doing anything new because we have been adhering to a philosophy of “Go Green” since we first opened. Our Thai ancestors always told us about the importance of preserving nature. So we apply this point by protecting 3 things; the trees, the soil, and the water. We make our own plants and use them in the spa. We turn garbage into biological fertilizer so as to not destroy the soil, and we do not use sodium sulfate in our products so as to protect the water.

How do you manage to make time for your family?
I try to make work a part of family life and vice versa without impinging on either. I never think about office hours at all and I maximise my time through efficiency and effectiveness to get the best from both . This is the perfect match if you can do it.

Por Tor Festival

This is an ancestor’s festival of the ethnic Chinese that falls on the seventh Chinese lunar month, which is the same as the ninth lunar month of the Thais. Special foods, flowers and candles are presented to the ancestor’s altars. Cakes in the shape of turtles are made from flour.

This is done because turtles live to great age and it is believed that by making such offering worshippers may extend the length of their lives. It is an important merit-making festival.
