Hiking
at Mu Ko Similan National Park
 Aside
from white sandy beaches, seamounts of smooth granite boulders,
rock reefs and world-renowned underwater scenery at 2 to 30
m deep, Similan Islands also have nice hiking trails. You
can make trekking trips at Ko Miang in the archipelago. Nicobar
pigeon or the hairy-legged mountain land crab can be easily
sighted while venturing around the interior of the mangrove
jungle. The wildlife inhabiting the national park includes
the bush-tailed porcupine, common palm civet, flying lemur
and bottlenosed dolphin. There are plenty of reptile and amphibian
species including the banded krait, reticulated python, white-lipped
pit viper, common pit viper, hawksbill turtle, leather turtle,
Bengal monitor lizard, common water monitor lizard and ornate
froglet.
