Koh Chang is a good destination for both snorkeling and diving because it\u2019s the site of the HTMS Chang shipwreck.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re lucky, you can see some reasonably large marine animals in the waters near Koh Chang, including leopard sharks and whale sharks. Pearl Beach is an incredible place to snorkel, and you\u2019ll find coral reefs full of stingrays, fish, and the odd shark or two.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Some other amazing Snorkeling Spots around the world:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/insmoothwaters.com\/best-snorkeling-in-belize\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"1416\">Visiting Belize?

Still, this pretty island right off the coast of Chumphon is an excellent spot for amateur snorkelers to get comfortable with being in the water. Koh Ngam Yai has a gently sloping coastline, making it shallow enough for even those afraid of getting into the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koh Ngam Yai\u2019s coral is just six feet below the surface of the waves, so you can explore reefs without ever having to get too far from shore or travel too far below the surface of the water. Koh Ngam Yai is easily accessible by ferry from Chumphon and is about an hour ride each way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Top 10 Spots to Snorkel worldwide:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/insmoothwaters.com\/top-10-snorkeling-spots-in-the-world\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1379\">Top 10 snorkeling Spots in the World (Most Lively)<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/insmoothwaters.com\/top-10-snorkeling-spots-in-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.krabi-hotels.com\/seedo\/koh-kradan.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Koh Kradan<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Explore More: Snorkeling Koh Kradan, Thailand\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_Q1x3Lu-WIow\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/insmoothwaters.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FQ1x3Lu-WIow%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q1x3Lu-WIow\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M21S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2015-03-24T10:01:43Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_Q1x3Lu-WIow\" data-src=\"https:\/\/insmoothwaters.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FQ1x3Lu-WIow%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Explore More: Snorkeling Koh Kradan, Thailand<\/div><\/div><button tabindex=\"0\" class=\"play\"><\/button><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Q1x3Lu-WIow\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/insmoothwaters.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FQ1x3Lu-WIow%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Explore More: Snorkeling Koh Kradan, Thailand\" width=\"420\" height=\"216\" title=\"\"><br \/>Dieses Video auf YouTube ansehen<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"After two an a half days on Koh Mook, we set our eyes on the island to the west, Koh Kradan.

The beach is a bit small during high tide, but wraps halfway around the island and is wonderful to walk along! Also, be careful of the sea urchin if you do snorkel here!

As such, the reef on this island is protected, but you can still visit it as long as you follow the rules. This island is the polar opposite of rowdy Koh Lanta, so don\u2019t expect to see too many tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best place for snorkeling is Ao Niang, which is in the southeast part of Koh Kradan. There\u2019s plenty of coral and marine life off this beach. Just be wary of the riptides that sometimes happen around this area of Koh Kradan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourismthailand.org\/Destinations\/Provinces\/Phuket\/350\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phuket<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Snorkeling Coral Island, Phuket, Thailand\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_zfvD3uH6szw\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/insmoothwaters.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FzfvD3uH6szw%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zfvD3uH6szw\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT7M38S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2016-07-18T20:23:39Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_zfvD3uH6szw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/insmoothwaters.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FzfvD3uH6szw%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Snorkeling Coral Island, Phuket, Thailand<\/div><\/div><button tabindex=\"0\" class=\"play\"><\/button><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zfvD3uH6szw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/insmoothwaters.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FzfvD3uH6szw%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Snorkeling Coral Island, Phuket, Thailand\" width=\"420\" height=\"216\" title=\"\"><br \/>Dieses Video auf YouTube ansehen<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Snorkeling Coral Island, Phuket, Thailand\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:420px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Phuket is the biggest island in Thailand and makes up a whole province in and of itself. There are plenty of beaches to lounge on and explore dotted all over Phuket, but the island\u2019s most significant driving pull lies below the waves. Snorkeling and diving are both huge in Phuket, and Kata Beach is one of the most famous places to take a dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kata Beach is a white sand paradise that is generally not as popular or busy as some of the other beaches. Snorkelers just might get lucky and find that they are the only people on Kata Beach. It\u2019s a mile long and offers snorkelers a chance to check out some very vivid marine life in the shallows that hug the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are planning on visiting Phuket, make sure that you set aside a few days at least to enjoy everything that the island has to offer fully. Phuket has its own airport so that you can take a direct flight from Bangkok.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10.

Still, this little piece of paradise has a lot to offer, especially for snorkelers and divers. It\u2019s located almost right on Malaysia and Thailand\u2019s border and has fantastic weather and a thriving natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koh Lipe is a fantastic place to see seabeds in their full glory. There is so much to see on this tiny island, so plan to spend at least a day checking out the sights. Sting Ray City is one of the best snorkeling and diving spots, as are any of the coral formations and animal life off Pattaya Beach or Sunset Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koh Lipe is also a fantastic place to get PADI certified. PADI certification stands for \u201cProfessional Association of Diving Instructors\u201d and allows you to check out the world beneath the waves virtually anywhere on the planet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you get this certification, you will be able to dive in many places on the gulf and Andaman sides of Thailand, including wreck sites and Hin Daeng and Hin Muang; two great diving sites where you can see whales, sharks, tuna, and other giant sea creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Few Other Snorkeling Gems Worthy of Mention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hua Hin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krabi-tourism.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Krabi<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kosamui.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Koh Samui<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Want to explore more snorkeling spots near Thailand?
