Klong Nin is a small village situated in the middle of Koh Lanta. It’s around 15 km or a half hour drive from the main village of Saladan. The fine white sandy beach stretches for several kilometers and maintains a tranquil, relaxed, laid back atmosphere. The sea is great for swimming in and all along the beach you will find Koh Lanta’s famous Umbrella Tree (bai toey). With the surrounding mountains and tropical rain forest it makes for some breathtaking scenery.

When travelling around the island don’t forget to visit Nui Beach. It’s a tiny, and very pretty, bay hidden away on Koh Lanta’s coast. Because of its superb location no resorts are built on this beach. There is however the luxury Villa Nui built on the cliffs that overlook Nui Beach which is available for rental.

Nui Beach is located just after Khlong Nin heading south away from Saladan, so look out for the Nui Beach sign post. The beach is accessible either by walking through the trees or by going through Nui Beach Bar and walking down the man made steps. Many times when visiting the beach you will only find a couple of people, normally though you can have it all to yourself. The beach is amazing, all soft sand and usually crystal clear water. You can only swim in certain parts of the sea due to it being quite rocky.

When going home you have to walk up a hill so on a hot day the bar is great place to stop. It has an amazing unique view serves simple food and is great place to unwind even more.

Its been an incredible week on Koh Lanta This week. I really love April, it’s when the least amount of visitors arrive as getting near the end of the season. That also means very quiet dive sites too – not so good for dive shop owners, but good for divers!

April really is an amazing time to visit Thailand ( especially when i have heard in my home town back in England they have had 4 inches of snow this week). The weather is super hot with temperatures around 34 degrees. The sea conditions have been outstanding, usually flat seas on the way to the dive sites and underwater visibility exceeding 40 / 50 metres at Hin Daeng. I have never seen it so beautiful with the sunlight illuminating the soft corals. We have had manta rays all season and 2 days ago I didn’t spot a manta but was rewarded by a Devil Ray passing by, as well as spotting a zebra moray eel, juvenile emperor angelfish as big as my fingernail and a barracuda like I have never seen so big before — even with the magnification underwater it was BIG!

Dropping off on the smallest rock at Koh Ha ( it is not visited many times due to everyone wanting to dive the Caves) you soon get to realize the untouched feeling it has when you see the amount of fish and huge soft corals and also – no other divers. It is very rare! We now have common sightings of a sea horse there which sits around 15 metres making it great for every qualified diver to see, even beginners. Harlequin shrimps have been on show and also ghostpipe fish not forgetting nudibranchs and a huge variety of marine fishes.

These 2 Videos were shot on the same day. The turtle is filmed at Koh Ha 1 and was very relaxed whilst he was eating. Unbelievable how close you can get to them.

The Sea Snake was filmed at Koh Ha too. I tried to get as close to the floor as possible and is was great watching it come towards me. No, I didn’t turn the film off because I got scared.

Koh Bida Islands also has been amazing this week, the visability which can change quite a lot here, has been around the same for the last month between 10 and 30 metres. This is one of my favourite dive sites due to the incredible scenery below and above the water. Having the usual encounter with a leopard shark is one of the main reasons for diving here but this week has been great with a few sightings of black tip sharks in the shallows around 5 metres even the snorkelers on the boat have had an encounter with them. Also the amount of trevally action and jacks is enough to keep any diver happy and occupied for an hour along with cuttlefish, tomato clownfish and boxfish.

So don’t forget April is a great time to dive Thailand, great visibilty, calm seas, less divers and the dive staff have learned where all the funky stuff hangs out!
