The 9 coastal destinations featured on the NOSTRA Map app are as follows:
- Similan … A Heaven on the Andaman Sea
Tagged to be the most beautiful archipelago in Thailand, Similan has been noted for a stretch of fine white sand that connects to clear blue seawater with gradual transitions from light to dark shades, following by a flash of intense navy blue at the far edge of the horizon. The natural beauty of Similan varies both on the beaches and under the sea that houses the rich diversity of lives from rare types of corals to several unique species of aquatic animals – making the Similan Islands truly a precious gem in the heart of the Andaman Sea.
- Finding Nemo & Dory on the Surin Islands
The bright blue sky and turquoise water, this tropical paradise brings visitors to the spectacular underwater world. Apart from finding the clown fish Nemo, the blue tang fish Dory and their friends await under the Surin seawater. Certainly, it is one of the best snorkeling destinations in Thailand. Tropical fishes and colorful reefs welcome snorkelers with the crystal-clear shallow waters where they come face to face with hard and soft corals in every direction, together with different species of fish like clown fish, blue tang fish, bannerfish and parrot fish. Deep water snorkeling is centered at Richelieu rock, a spot of great concentration of marine life.
- The Turquoise Islands of Phi Phi
Soft white sand beaches strikingly contrast with emerald seawater. This dream-like island is named “Emerald of the Andaman Sea.” Featuring unique natural beauty with a variety of stunning places to visit such as Phi Phi Le Island, Phi Phi Don Island, Yoong Island, Mai Phai Island, Maya Bay, Pi Ley Bay and Loh Samah Bay, Phi Phi also provides visitors with comfortable stay including accommodations, shops, restaurants, and entertainment spots. Travelling to and from the islands is easy as there are many private companies ready to serve, making it a popular choice for waterfront escape for Thai and foreign tourists.
- Unexploited Beauty of Koh Rok
White sand, pleasing sky and crystal clear waters are incorporated into the unexploited beauty of Rok Island. Visitors are enticed by and rewarded with its delicate ecosystem and natural tranquility in perfect combination with crystalline greenish blue waters, which are wonderfully surrounded by long, white sand beaches. Thriving reefs around the islands are worth checking out and ideal for shallow snorkeling.
- Falling in Love with Railay Beach
Though this coastal paradise is not just an ordinary island, Railay Beach is accessible via boat only. It offers a dream-like beauty and makes visitors feel as if they are on a private island.

This is a perfect getaway for everyone.
- Time Stops on Raja Island
Stunning clear, white sugar sand beach along with its bright blue sea, the heavenly view of Raja Island seems like a backdrop of the Andaman Sea. Though easily accessible from Phuket, it offers a restricted number of accommodations, making it some of the most tranquil places unlike others. The Raja Island is therefore popular among tourists looking for a peaceful place to hear the ocean breeze.

Water is crystal clear and clean so that even dolphins love jumping and swimming here. The beach with pure white powdery sand is endless. Water is blue, clean and clear, drawing attention to every visitors. There is an abundance of life on land and in the sea, making this place a reachable paradise for everyone from snorkeling to experiencing the underwater world.

- Venture Out into Payam Island
Where there is a will, there is a way to Payam Island! It is the place where time goes a little slower as we slowly stride across the sandy beach and the sun gradually disappears into the ocean. The beautifully peaceful and simple way of life of the islanders here is also worth exploring.
