Hello,
where can I dive with whale sharks in Thailand? And is there any good diving sites that can be reached without a boat (close to the shore)?
Thank you!!!

Obviously there's no guarantee, but Phuket/Phi Phi/Similians and Koh Tao have regular whale shark sightings.
Shore diving is popular in Thailand -- the good sites are only accessible by boat.

Koh Tao is has a few sites where they are seen - but you do have to go by boat .....March, April , May and Sept and October are good times to come but they do pop up randomly during the year too....

oops, my previous comment should say:
Shore diving is NOT popular in Thailand.

Whalesharks have been quite regularly spotted over the last few weeks - with intermittent sightings since March... Sept and Oct is also a another good time to see them.
