Responsible Snorkelling

Let’s Protect the Marine Treasure of the Gulf of Thailand

We invite you to enjoy its reefs and marine life with respect. This ecosystem is fragile and depends on all of us to preserve it.

Avoid touching or standing on corals, as they are living organisms that are highly sensitive. Observe the fish without chasing them or disturbing their natural behaviour.

Do not collect shells or natural elements, as they are part of the ecosystem’s balance.

Whenever possible, use biodegradable sunscreen to help protect the reefs.

Small actions can make a big difference. Taking care of this environment is the best way to continue enjoying it today and in the future.
