- Koh Lanta National Park
- Hin Daeng, Hin Muang and Koh Haa are the three most famous dive sites in Koh Lanta area.
- Tarutao National Park
- Koh Lipe is a paradisiac islands in Tarutao National Park, with small resorts and nearby dive sites, the most famous is surely 8 Miles Rock
- Phi Phi islands
- The islands came to worldwide prominence when Ko Phi Phi Le was used as a location for the 2000 British-American film The Beach.
Lipe Route
- Best Times: All Year
- Many dive sites in Koh Lipe are at home in the Tarutao National Marine Park that shares a border with Malaysia. The park is closed for some months a year which gives it plenty of time to recuperate and the abundance of fish and coral you will find here is astonishing.
- This ranges from big guys like Whale Sharks and Mantas to tiny macro critters – Koh Lipe now holds my personal record of the tiniest Nudibranch ever seen and most Seahorses within a week. I did not get so lucky with the gentle giants but to be fair I did not come in season for that.
