About Laem Chua
Laem Chua is a rocky headland where large boulders have created an interesting underwater terrain of channels, overhangs, and sandy patches. The reef supports a variety of marine life including stingrays, moray eels, and nudibranchs. It offers more depth and interest than the typical Phangan snorkeling site.
Tips
Explore the boulder channels for hidden critters. Good conditions when west coast is calm.
