KHAI ISLAND

Khai Nok & Khai Nui

Great shallow coral garden reef midway between the two islands.
This reef is so beautiful that it should be on Unesco's World Heritage list.
Only minus is that water visibility can vary a lot, from low to good visibility.
And with the odd tourist standing on the corals so it breaks apart, who knows how long this fantastic reef will last.
