Laem Farang is a boat-access reef south of Koh Samae Sarn, reached in a short ride from Samaesarn pier and suitable for Open Water divers. The site offers a shallow-to-moderate reef profile with coral and sandy sections, clear water in the dry season, and a mix of reef fish that keeps the dive relaxed but lively. It works well as an easy boat day when visibility is good and the sea is calm.
