点评:Returned to Surin after 13 years. Definitely a lot has changed! First up it is still a beautiful spot. However, you will now be sharing this paradise with a rather lot of other people. It is no longer in any way an "off the path" adventure. Especially during the day - there could be 400 people all at the same time. Gotta say though they handle the group meals very efficiently and the food was surprising good (for a camp style kitchen). Overnight is the way to go if you do come, as the vibe is a lot more peaceful when the speedboats depart for the day. Would I go back? No. Main reason being the snorkelling. Still decent enough but not how I remembered. Concerns were - large areas of dead coral, high number of crown of thorns star fish, heaps of people in the water, and way too many in the boats. Especially the speedboats coming in, these are the same people you will do your first 2 snorkels with and of the 40 odd minutes allocated at each site you might spend 20 waiting to get into the water! In summary, if you are passing through Khao Lak as part of your itinerary then absolutely spending a night at Surin is a cool side trip. You also head out the second morning on a long tail boat for additional snorkels, and at some stage you have the opportunity to visit a "Moken" village. However if you are specifically seeking out snorkel locations and have options then don't expect this to measure up to say Indonesian areas like Sulawesi or Raja Ampat. As an example the last site we stopped at on the long tail, I was back in the boat after 5 minutes as there was literally nothing to turn my camera on for...
翻译:13 年后再次回到素林。确实变化很大!首先,这里仍然是一个美丽的地方。但是,您现在将与许多其他人共享这个天堂。它不再是“偏僻之地”的冒险。尤其是在白天——可能会同时有 400 人。不得不说,他们非常高效地处理团体用餐,而且食物出奇地好(对于一个营地式厨房而言)。如果您来这里,过夜是最好的选择,因为当快艇白天出发时,这里的氛围会更加平静。我会再去吗?不会。主要原因是浮潜。仍然不错,但不像我记忆中的那样。令人担忧的是——大片死珊瑚、大量棘冠海星、水中人山人海,船上人太多。尤其是快艇驶来时,你会和他们一起进行前两次浮潜,在每个地点分配的 40 多分钟中,你可能会花 20 分钟等待下水!总之,如果你的行程中途经过考拉克,那么在苏林过夜绝对是一个很酷的短途旅行。第二天早上,你还可以乘坐长尾船进行额外的浮潜,在某个阶段,你有机会参观“莫肯”村。然而,如果你专门寻找浮潜地点并且有选择,那么不要指望这里能与苏拉威西岛或拉贾安帕特岛等印度尼西亚地区相媲美。例如,我们在长尾船上停留的最后一个地点,我 5 分钟后就回到了船上,因为那里几乎没有什么可以打开相机拍摄的……
