Koh Lading sits just east of Koh Hong and is consistently rated as having the best snorkeling in the island group. The soft coral here is incredible, vivid colours, healthy formations and a surprising variety of fish considering how close it is to the mainland.
The snorkeling on Koh Lading's eastern reef is genuinely special. You'll find sea fans, brain coral, clownfish in their anemones and, if you're lucky, a reef shark patrolling the deeper edge. The water visibility here regularly exceeds 15 metres during the dry season.
The beach is quieter than Koh Hong and the shallows are perfect for children. A good second stop after the lagoon.
Koh Lading sits in the Krabi marine national park, just off the coast of Ao Nang.
