• Island park fees are often not in the tour price and are paid in cash at the pier. Maya Bay usually closes August-September; Similan and Surin close 15 May-15 October.
• "Cheapest found" is the lowest price I found in September 2026 and where it was offered. Online prices change often, so use Compare prices before booking. Street tour desks in Patong and Karon will often negotiate.
• Temples need covered shoulders and knees. Shows, parks and tours are usually cheaper on Klook, KKday or GetYourGuide than at the door.
