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.

How about a liveaboard dive trip to Cendrawasih Bay in Papua, Indonesia? PM me for details.
