Talu Island
koh talu This privately owned island sits a 30 min boat ride away off the coast of the increasingly popular town of Bangsaphan which is a 2-3 hour journey by car, bus or train, south of Hua Hin.
Koh Talu has lovely palm fringed beaches and a shallow reef that is ideal for snorkelling. Fish life is thriving and you'll see parrotfish, wrasse, seargent major fish and a good variety of hard coral.
It is the closest place to Hua Hin that you can go scuba diving with depths at around 14 meters max and visibility from 5 to 15 meters. It is ideal for beginners as currents are weak and there are some good coral formations in the depths and around the smaller islands off Koh Talu. More information can be found on the Bangsaphan Guide. Take a look also at our South of Hua Hin forum for disussion on other nearby areas of interest.
