Reason 77: When diving the Phi-Phi islands you can also visit the "Viking Cave" with ancient murals of ships or go to Maya Bay where part of "The Beach" was filmed.

Reason 78: When diving the Similan Islands you can go for a jungle walk on Island #4 and look for the "Poo Kai", a crab that lives in a hole and makes a sound like a chicken!!!
Or, if you like real birds better look out for the Nicobar Pigeons or white breasted sea eagles.

Reason 79: Close to the Burmese border in Thai waters is Richelieu Rock. A superb dive site and arguably the best dive site in the whole kingdom.

Reason 80: One of the very few (possibly only) place in Thailand to dive with fairly regular sightings of bull sharks is at Chumpon Pinnacle in the Gulf of Thailand.
