Khao Lak has more to dive than just the Similan Islands. While the Similans are listed as one of the “top ten dive sites” in the world, we also some incredible local dive sites around the Khaolak area including Bon Soong Wreck, Premchai Wreck, Khao Nayak and the Thai Muang reef. The most famous, and we think the best, is Bon Soong wreck. Rather than using speedboats we visit these sites via traditional longtail. This means smaller groups and empty dive sites! These trips are shorter days (less transit time) and you are usually back in your resort by 2 or 3 O’clock. -
