Koh Kham
Koh Kham , an eco-tourism site under the responsibility of the navy Sattahip, can be reached by boat about 45 minutes. Blessed with white sandy beaches, the park comprises twin mountains linked together with stretching land. Diving with snorkel to appreciate fantastic coral reefs is possible.
This peaceful landscaped island is beautified with flowers, gardens, plants, white sandy beaches and fabulous coral reefs. It also has rare plants and sea flowers.
According to the Royal Thai Navy officers, this island is one of the country’s three islands under the “Pilot Project” promotional campaign for preserving the coral. Around the island there are coral reef rehabilitation areas, which will then be relocated. This task of relocation was made possible by the cooperation between the naval officers and academics from institutes concerned with further study on the growing of more varieties of coral. The reefs are now the habitat of fish, oysters, and other seas animals.
Koh Kham could be said to be another paradise and a chance for tourists and visitors to enjoy, relax, and swim in the clear waters. For tourists wishing to visit the Koh Kham Underwater Park, boats can be hired at Sattahip to go directly to Koh Kham. From there, travelers can continue cruising by boat to look at Mark island which is also rich in beautiful scenery.
