Thailand's reputation as a diving destination is long-established and its western coast, met by the Andaman Sea, is where scuba divers flock to experience its finest dive sites.
Mostly the drawcard for divers is the reputation of the Similan Islands. Take a closer look, however, and you will see that there are other wonderful dive sites here that deserve your attention, Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Koh Ha and Koh Phi Phi.
This area is found to the south of Phuket Island and within the Mu Koh Lanta National Marine Park. Their proximity to Phuket means these sites can be dived via a short liveaboard trip, making them attractive to divers restricted by time or budget.
Hin Daeng is a favourite site for manta rays and even a whale shark to pass by. It is a submerged pinnacle covered with vibrant soft corals ringing its crown. Hin Muang is a much larger dive site and tends to be less crowded. Here you can dive Thailand's highest vertical wall and marvel at a vast carpet of anemones. Hin Muang is good for both big stuff like mantas, grey reef sharks and leopard sharks, schools of pelagics, but also for macro life too. [More details on these dive sites: Hin Daeng and Hin Muang].
The Phi Phi Islands are one of the best known destinations in Thailand, being amongst the most picturesque islands in the world. These islands and nearby Koh Ha are surrounded by many interesting caves and overhangs. Smaller marine life proliferates here such as clouds of glassfish, seahorses and shrimpfish, as well as leopard sharks and blacktip reef sharks.
