We had a leisurely morning. Eventually we pulled up the anchor and motored just 5 miles to the Koh Chang marine park which is located on Koh Rang. We anchored on the northwest side, near Ko Thian and Koh Rang. We were the only ones in this beautiful little bay for awhile but then 2 dive/snorkel boats arrived. We doned our snorkel gear and swam off the boat towards a little island with a reef. We had a nice snorkel and saw lots of fish. We came back to the boat and had lunch. Meanwhile the 2 other boats left. After lunch we relaxed a little. Then we put our snorkel gear into the dingy and dinghed out to pinnacle rock which is supposed to have great snorkeling and a whale shark that’s often sighted there. We tied the dinghy to a mooring ball and got into the water. We started to swim towards the rock but the water was really choppy. We decided it was too choppy for snorkeling and came back to the dingy. From there we motored to another corner of the bay. We didn’t snorkel for too long. Back on the boat, I took a shower and then we headed back to Koh Mak north, the same place we spent last night.
We went to dinner at Seavana, a resort on the beach. We had another delicious dinner. Rick had tiger prawns which were the biggest shrimp I had ever seen.
It’s a full moon tonight. We don’t see any fishing boats out, we assume the moon is too bright so the squid don’t respond to the boat’s bright lights.
