Christmas Point
Maritime Zone, Thailand
Christmas Point, situated in the Maritime Zone of the Similan Islands, is located on the western corner of Island 9. It derives its name from the clusters of thornbeam roots, commonly known as Christmas tree worms, that grow there. The site features intricate rock formations eroded by tidal currents, creating channels and swim-throughs that offer dynamic terrain. Caution is advised in the deep areas along the rocks, as the tide can be swift under certain conditions.
