Boat-access reef slope on Koh Khram Yai South
Public shore entry is not the normal route.
Koh Khram Yai South is a boat-access reef on the south side of Koh Khram Yai, with a shallow coral crest that rolls into a sandier outer slope. It suits divers who want a straightforward Pattaya-area day trip with reef structure, schooling fish, and the possibility of faster water around the edges. Plan it as a guided dive where current timing and route choice matter more than shore logistics.
