Thailand's tropical beaches and islands are tourist attractions that attract the most visitors, especially with its famous scuba diving activities that top the list as one of the must-visit places for scuba divers around the world. This is the place to go on your next scuba diving trip in Thailand!
Racha Island
The Racha Archipelago is divided into two parts: Racha Yai and Racha Noi, located six kilometers apart. These beautiful islands are loved by all divers for their stunning nature, similar to Similan island but more accessible. Expect to see spectacular coral reefs and the famous manta rays.
Koh Ha
As part of Mu Koh Lanta National Park, Koh Ha is known as one of the most precious gems in the Andaman sea. Consisting of one large island, Koh Ha Yai, and five other smaller islands, this expansive island panorama includes up to nine deep scuba diving spots plus a lagoon area that is also perfect for snorkeling.
Located just 40 minutes from Koh Ha, Koh Lanta itself also boasts stunning sea and forest views which are well worth a visit. One of the most beloved five-star resorts on Koh Lanta, Pimalai Resort & Spa offers the best views you can find on the island, with almost a kilometer of beachfront to explore. The majestic Seven Seas restaurant also serves fresh seafood with a sea view from the dining table.
Koh Lipe
Explore the natural beauty and historical artifacts of the vast area of Koh Lipe. Divers shouldn't miss the chance to see the stunning purple coral reefs or 'lavender fields' and the Yong Hua Shipwreck, which sank 40 meters into the sea more than a decade ago. On rare occasions, divers may receive a warm welcome from whale sharks, devil manta rays, and leopard sharks.
Koh Wai
A little away from the coast of Trat lies a peaceful island known as Koh Wai. The island welcomes all experienced divers and amateur snorkelers to explore the marine life below while also establishing the perfect sanctuary for those who simply crave a quiet day by the sea.
Located 40 minutes from Koh Wai, Koh Chang is one of the most popular tourist island destinations. If you never get tired of sunsets, you'll enjoy views of the orange sea from Koh Chang's enchanting Sea View villas. All rooms, suites, and villas are decorated with original artwork and eco-conscious innovations, but the beautiful private beach and cliff-top pool will always invite guests to enjoy their time outside.
