Koh Bon / Koh Tachai diving

Koh Bon is a remote small uninhabited island which belongs to the Similan Islands National Marine Park. It’s located about 20 kilometers north of Similan Island No 9. The island has the shape of a horseshoe and no beaches. It is made of volcanic rock and over time waves and currents have cut some holes right through the island where you can see the waves surge through them both above and below the surface.
Koh Bon
Around Koh Bon, there are a few different dive sites what also give you different types of diving (Wall, Slope, Reef, and Drift) and it is considered the number 1 place in Thailand to see Manta Rays.
