Day 63 of 164 Days Around the World Cruise
Koh Phangan is a beautiful island located in the Gulf of Thailand. Known for its idyllic beaches, lush jungle landscapes, and vibrant party scene, it's a popular destination for travelers from all over the world. But beyond the beach parties and backpacker culture, Koh Phangan is also a great place for snorkeling.
Snorkeling is an activity that allows you to explore the underwater world without needing any diving equipment, and you can swim around and observe the marine life up close. Koh Phangan has several great snorkeling spots that are accessible from the shore.
One of the best places to go snorkeling in Koh Phangan is around Koh Ma, a small island located on the northwest coast of the island. Koh Ma is a protected marine park, so the waters here are full of vibrant coral reefs and a diverse range of fish and other sea creatures. The island is accessible by a short walk across a sandbar during low tide, making it a popular spot for snorkelers and divers alike.
Another great spot for snorkeling is Haad Yao beach, which is located on the west coast of the island. The beach itself is stunning, with crystal-clear waters and white sand, but the real draw is the coral reefs that are just a short swim away. There are plenty of fish and other marine life to spot here, including colorful clownfish, giant clams, and sea turtles.
If you're looking for a more secluded spot to snorkel, head to Mae Haad beach on the northern coast of the island. This beach is much quieter than some of the more popular spots, but the snorkeling here is just as good. You'll find plenty of coral and fish to observe in the clear waters, and you may even spot a few octopuses or sea snakes.
No matter where you choose to go snorkeling in Koh Phangan, you'll want to make sure you bring plenty of sunscreen and water. The sun can be intense in Thailand, so it's important to protect your skin while you're out on the water. And of course, always be respectful of the marine life and their habitats - never touch or disturb any animals or coral.
Overall, Koh Phangan is a fantastic destination for anyone who loves snorkeling. With its beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, and diverse marine life, it's the perfect place to explore the underwater world and experience the beauty of Thailand's coast.
