Koh Bon is just off Similian Island near Khao Lak. The water is clear and warm. However, every now and then a cold current can come up and be fairly strong so take caution. The reef is beautiful and full of colorful marine life.

There are many moray eels to find amongst the reef and lots of your typical Thailand marine fish species.

Khao Na Yak (★4.0)
