gearbox Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) I was kayaking between the Lomprayah pier at Mae Nam and Ban Tai beach, and noticed a lot of white areas in the water that I haven't seen there before. Seems that massive coral bleaching happened. Are Phangan or Koh Tao affected? https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/thailand-heat-coral-reef-bleaching-b2550015.html Edited June 8 by gearbox 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see them from the Mae Nam view point and also on Google Maps. Water visibility is poor and very few people snorkel there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicalevo Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 The only place that I found live coral off Samui was in Crystal Bay but that was probably 15 years ago or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern most part of Chaweng Beach, outside the cliffs separating Chaweng Noi Beach. Easy swimming access from the beach.
