Thailand offers a range of exceptional beaches and islands to explore while snorkeling, all crawling with huge schools of fish and colourful coral life. The beaches are amongst the best in the world, and while most are popular with tourists, you can still find a few secluded spots to explore the underwater world in solitude.
The waters around Thailand are truly like an aquarium, and you can easily reach most of the best snorkeling sites straight from shore. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced snorkeler, you’ll be able to see the best of Thailand’s sea life along many of its beaches. There are so many places to go it might be a struggle knowing which are the best, so here’s where you should go snorkeling in Thailand.

Ao Niang Bay
Where: Koh Kradan
Details: This is Thailand’s best snorkeling destination for people who want to explore nature away from the tourist crowd. Koh Kradan is one of the quietest islands in Thailand, full of luscious untouched landscapes, crystal clear secluded beaches, and a spectacular reef to explore. Ao Niang Bay is the best spot for snorkeling, an 800-metre long beach with loads of vibrant marine and coral life to explore right off the shore. This island is part of Hat Chao Mai National Park, so the reefs are healthy and protected.

Koh Nang Yuan
Where: Koh Tao
Details: These three islands are connected to Koh Tao by a beautiful white sandbar, and are a must visit when in Thailand. With a shallow, protected coral reef lining the islands you can enjoy snorkeling in crystal clear waters with hard and soft coral, lots of sea life, and some of Thailand’s best waters. Besides the picture perfect setting, you can also feast your eyes (and GoPro) on clownfish, anemones, butterfly fish, clams, parrotfish, and more.
Information:
Maya Bay
Where: Ko Phi Phi
Details: If you’ve ever watched the movie The Beach, you’ve wanted to visit this jaw-droppingly beautiful setting. A strip of white sandy beach enclosed by towering green cliffs on three sides, Maya Bay is protected from the open ocean and almost entirely covered in coral reef. You’re surrounded by jungle and crystal clear waters filled with hundreds of colourful fish, but it’s worth noting that a lot of the coral life here has been damaged due to excessive tourism.
The answer is: too many! Traditional snorkel masks can be uncomfortable and scary for many people, so the beauty of snorkelling goes undiscovered and unexperienced. Whether it's breathing difficulties, choking on sea water, or foggy goggles, there's a lot that prevents people from enjoying the wonderful sport of snorkelling. And that thought makes us sad.
We think everyone should be able to enjoy the underwater world - safely, comfortably, and easily. That's why we created Ninja Shark and our revolutionary line of full face snorkel masks. They're designed to be super comfy, easy-to-use, and make snorkelling accessible for all. Because nobody should miss out on discovering what's under the sea.
NINJASHARK is the sound of a revolution in snorkeling. Whereas other water equipments companies are constantly adding poor quality products, we listen to your feedback and constantly improve our products to fit for all of your needs.
While other water equipments companies offer just a way to look under the water, NINJASHARK wants to create an amazing experience for water enthusiasts. That's why we listen to your feedbacks and we develop products based on them.
The Influencer @lud.around doesn’t believes just in snorkelling, but in the entire experience of it. When NinjaShark asked her what is in her beach bag everytime she goes on a vacation, she said, “Ninja Shark: I'm not leaving my room without the mask. The full face snorkeling mask from Australia is comfortable and fit me perfectly! Love how easy it is to breath out your nose and mouth when you snorkeling and even has earplugs! ”
“The mask include GOPRO mounts, so you can easily film and photograph underwater scenery! I highly recommend especially to people who have a fear of snorkeling! This mask is really easy to use and is safe!” said @lud.around. “I can’t wait for my next trip with my new mask!”
“Awesome set.
Loved the complete set. I even used the waterproof phone pouch to take photos and videos underwater. It made my Fiji experience so much better than using the free snorkel set that hurt your face after 2hours and leaving a sun/mask mark. The ninja leaves no marks and gives great vision under water in comparison. It did take some getting used to but it definitely paid off! Only frustration is that the tightening straps are quite basic; they should be much simpler to loosen and tighten both in and out of water.” – Jock
