Koh Phai
The northernmost island of the Far Island chain, with a large shallow bay that is free of jet skis and used for try dives and skill refreshers. The best reef is at the southern tip, averaging around 10 m and reaching about 18 m. Parrotfish, wrasse, pufferfish and seahorses live on the reef together with giant clams and schools of juvenile snappers, jacks and fusiliers.
