Ko Khrok
Nong Prue, Bang Lamung, Chonburi 20150 ThailandAbout
This island is situated approximately 8 kilometres from Pattaya Beach. The island is relatively rocky, and only has a 100-metre stretch of beach. Even so, getting to the island is easy, and the marine life is spectacular despite its proximity to Pattaya. The island is a favourite with divers who make the day trip out. Ko Khrok (or Krok). 2 km east of Ko Laan, is an isolated rocky islet with a single 100 metre stretch of sandy beach to the east, where visitors can see coral reefs. The Western face and the Southern point of the island are where the corals are. The corals start on the sand at 15m and extend right up to near the surface. An excellent site for a drift dive as the prevailing currents run parallel to the island. Large Bommies are a feature of this site. Staghorn, Brain, Mushroom and Table Corals are in abundance. Neptune, Barrel and Blue Sponge are amongst the Soft Corals found here. Bushy Corals can be found at the deeper sections.
