Question
Which islands near Phuket are good for snorkeling?
Insider's Response
You can go snorkeling on Phuket’s beaches as well as on the nearby islands. Racha Island and Coral Island are excellent for this purpose. For those who love beautiful marine scenery, the Similan Islands are highly recommended as the best place to see fish. The water there is absolutely clear, and the marine diversity is impressive.
