Dive Spot Guide•
Ko Kram / เกาะคราม
Ko Kram is a shallow coral-reef snorkel island with fishing gear.
Local operator required
Usually organized as a boat-based island trip from the Chumphon coast.
Best as a boat-linked snorkel stop with reef life, but plan around fishing gear and modest on-site facilities.
About Ko Kram / เกาะคราม
Ko Kram is a small, uninhabited island with shallow coral reefs and a simple snorkel profile. The reef is the main draw, but the island is also used as a community fishing ground, so fishing gear is part of the planning picture. Expect a low-key boat-linked island stop rather than a polished resort site, with turtles, barracuda, and reef fish making the water worth the trip.
