About Koh Phai (Bamboo Island)

Koh Phai (Bamboo Island) is one of the more remote islands accessible from Pattaya. Its reef system extends to 26m and benefits from the distance from shore — visibility is generally better than near-shore sites. The island is a popular day trip destination with both reef diving and snorkeling options. The HTMS Khram wreck sits nearby.
