Sights & Activities
There's good coral all along the southern coast and around Ko Kra , the little island oppos-
ite Sunrise Beach. But be careful while swimming, especially in low season. A swimmer
was killed when a long-tail ran him down in 2013. Keep your eyes open and don't expect

long-tail. Most resorts rent out mask and snorkel sets and fins for 50B each, and can ar-
range four-point snorkel trips to Ko Adang, Ko Rawi and other coral-fringed islands for
around 1500B (up to five people). The best way to see the archipelago, however, is to
