Rock paintings

Rock paintings, Ko Bulon Le

 matlaz Says:  We found nice small rocks around the resort, they are smooth, white and have flat bottom. If you come with children, bring along paint and brush. 

Snorkelling (2)

Snorkelling (2), Ko Bulon Le

 dabuwan Says:  The coral around Ko Bulon Le is abundant and lively. Take care while snorkelling not to scratch your chest on the reef, as in some locations the coral is at a depth of less than one meter and if the sea is a bit rough it could be dangerous.

 dabuwan Says:  It's possible to do some very good snorkelling in Ko Bulon Le, just a few meters from the beach.Though the sea was a bit rough, the water was very clear and snorkelling very enjoyable.It's a pity that the cheap underwater disposable cameras make such poor quality pics. 

The sea

The sea, Ko Bulon Le

 dabuwan Says:  The warm Andaman sea has incredible turquoise and blue colours around Ko Bulon Le.I've been here twice (once in April and once in January) and the sea was quite rough both times. I think that steady winds are quite common around here and the island becomes off limits during...

The main beach (2), Ko Bulon Le

 dabuwan Says:  The long sandy beach on the eastern coast of the island is ideal for a nice walk on the shore. Most of the beach is backed by shady Casuarina trees, that offer a cool retreat from the peak midday heat.

Transportation  

One daily boat

Warnings Or Dangers  

Storms

Storms, Ko Bulon Le

 dabuwan Says:  The Andaman sea gets pretty rough during the monsoon season, approximately from July to November. It is thus difficult to reach Ko Bulon Le (and other islands in the Andaman sea, like Ko Tarutao) in that period, when most accomodations also shut down.Anyway, throughout the...
