gary and kids Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 My kid's and I are traveling to Phuket later this month for a week and woud like to find somewhere a little quiter to relax and do some diving. I’ve heard Coral Island is very nice, we thought Koh Chang /Koh Wai might be a little far (is it?) all idea’s are welcome- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isabelle17 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I have not been to any of the other islands you mentioned, but I have been to Coral Island and LOVED IT! I would recommend it. Its a nice place for families to go and it is very relaxing. I did some snorkeling there and I really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffphuket Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 It's been a few years since I was last on coral island, but I didn't enjoy it one bit. Every few minutes a speed boat arrives spewing out an endless number of Japanese and Korean tourists. The beach was dirty and noisy and as for being called 'coral island', well, all the coral died years ago.......maybe things have changed for the better, but somehow I doubt it.

keestha Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Snorkeling at Coral Island you will see only one type of fish, a small striped species that is there in massive numbers because the tourists are feeding them bread. You might contemplate going to Koh Racha instead, it is also quite close to Phuket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
