Mayakun and Prathep (2005)
carried out a diversity study of macroalgae at Ko Samui,
Southern Thailand, and compiled a list of algae in Thailand
(Lewmanomont et al., 1995) providing a useful guide to
seaweed biodiversity and distribution in Thailand. A recent
study has reported nine new records of species at a small
inter tidal coral reef at Sirinart Marine National Park in Phuket,
Thailand (Thongroy et al., 2007), suggesting that there are
likely more macroalgae species in Thailand that have not
been reported.
