About Koh Wai
Koh Wai is a tiny, barely developed island between Koh Chang and Koh Rang. The clear water and sandy beach make it one of the most picturesque snorkeling spots in the area. The reef is shallow but healthy, and the island's remoteness means the water is often clearer than near Koh Chang.
Tips
Stay for lunch at one of the basic beach restaurants. The south side has the best reef.
Experience Required
None. Snorkeling from beach.
