 | |  |  | Diving fishing snorkeling: Snorkelling at Coral Island | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
On the 4th day we decide to visit Coral Island. The whole day trip, which is not really a whole day, just 9am -2/3pm(depending on the tide) costs 650 baht for adults and 500 for kids. Tour includes: transfer by minivan speed boat lunch mask,snorkel and life jacket beach chair We were picked up from our hotel at about 9am to Chalong Bay. There we took our speed boat. Just before you take your boat a man will be snapping your pictures, so be prepared to part with 100 baht for each picture cos your pic will be framed in a nice plate at the end of the trip. Its hard not to buy cos it looks so nice. They did the same thing for our James Bond island tour. So we have like 4 souvenior plates now. The ride on the boat was bumpy as the water was choppy and we were told that the water is not so clear as the weather has not been so good. Luckily for us it did not rain, as it did the day before. The island was nice and the sand was soft and white, water was not crystal clear but much better than Patong of course. Its advisable to bring bread for the fishes. You can get them to come closer to you, that was nice. Lunch was served at 12, al fresco, by the beach-cool. I expected some packed lunch thrown in but it was a wonderful servings of fried rice,fried chicken, soup, fried squids, sweet and sour fish, mixed vegetables and fresh fruits!! You have to buy your own soft drinks at 77 baht or 40baht for a coconut drink. After that it was more swimming, snorkelling and sand playing for the kids. This is a nice place to go to if you cant go to Phi Phi island. Definitely a must. Leave a Comment Address: Coral island Resort

You definitely need to dive when you're at Phuket. It's just amazing and there are many dive sites. Here are some tips for selecting a good dive operator: They mostly cost the same, and offer the same services. I would personally recommend Dive The World on Ratuthid Road (www.divetheworldthailand) because the Liveaboard prices are the most reasonable, and the service is great. Diego is the man! Decide where you want to go first, because the dive operators, I think, are booking on the same pool of boats, meaning it works like an alliance, even though they are actually competing. There are many options available so you have to decide where you want to go first and for how long. Then it's best to talk to the people at the dive centers for a best schedule for yourself. Most of the time, the packages on the site are what they tell you about but you can negotiate and discuss with them when you get to Phuket itself. Going for longer trips in a package is always cheaper, if you can afford the time. Liveaboards are definitely the best value for diving. Try to plan a long time ahead of your trip so that you don't miss the liveaboard dates for boats! Also, most dive operators are able to help you book for a room. After I've done all my research and confusing searching, I realized that from Phuket, it's best to dive with Dive The World. I didn't think they were cheap until I started comparing the rates for a second trip to Phuket to dive, or even just for day trips.
