Hello Hello
My wife and I will be landing in Phucket tomorrow and have almost 3 weeks to see and dive off the Andaman Sea as well as the Gulf of Thailand working our way north to BKK.
This may be broad and I apologize and appreciate any advice but looking for some recent insight as to dive sites along the way. Has anyone been to a number of islands along the peninsula in the last 6 months? My main goal is to see a whale shark and/or manta rays but I understand that may be difficult and a product of timing and luck. minus the "best" place to see the big pelagics any other areas to make sure we find or spots we can skip?
I've heard a rumor that the Similan islands may be closed for a few months (national park?) and also that Koh Tao should be a place that we cannot miss.
Thank you for your help!
