Tropical Beaches

Koh Phra Thong is unlike most other Thai tropical islands. On Koh Phra Thong there are long stretches of exclusive sandy beach.

Khao Lak had similar beaches some time ago, but is now overrun with resorts. This can not happen on our paradise island because more than half of the beach land has been put under protection by our beloved Thai princess.

Koh Tachai

Koh Tachai is a hidden gem in the Andaman Sea. It is a favourite of liveaboard dive boats passing between the Similan and the Surin Islands.

The island has 4 distinct dives, rated amongst the best dive sites in Thailand. The most famous of these is the Koh Tachai Plateau, a coral ridge lying 1km south east of the island, surrounded by scattered large boulders and a multitude of life. Fantastic swim through opportunities and high probabilities of observing Mantas and Whale Sharks are what makes this location a firm favourite with divers.

Whale Shark Specialty

As the dive centre located closest to Richelieu Rock, Blue Guru on Koh Phra Thong is keen to do everything they can to protect this world famous dive site’s most awesome visitor – the whale shark. Whale sharks are the world’s largest fish & are docile plankton eaters, so diving or snorkelling with these magnificent creatures is an amazing experience.

Unfortunately whale sharks are an endangered species. More research & action is needed to monitor their migrations & prevent extinction before it’s too late. Blue Guru is a registered operator and proud supporter of PADI's Whale Shark Project.
