Read on to hear top tips from our members on selling bucket-list holidays in the Asia Pacific region.
Dive with Whale Sharks & Manta Rays from Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta, Thailand
Off the coast of Thailand’s Koh Lanta island, two diving locations stand among the world’s most iconic sites: Koh Haa and Hin Daeng–Hin Muang. These are not just dive spots—they are living, breathing underwater worlds that command respect, awe and return visits.
Located on the idyllic island of Koh Lanta, Pimalai Resort & Spa offers a luxury base from which to explore these bucket-list diving spots.
Koh Haa, the ‘Five Islands’, features a calm lagoon, crystal waters and dramatic limestone formations that create a natural sanctuary for both novice explorers and seasoned professionals. Within its embrace lies the Cathedral, a cavern lit by shafts of sunlight, and the Chimney, a vertical swim through that reveals the magic of precision buoyancy. It’s a place where macro photographers lose track of time, chasing ghost pipefish, seahorses and nudibranchs, while hawksbill turtles gracefully drift past.
Venture further into the open Andaman Sea, and the tone changes. Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are showstoppers. The red and purple soft corals for which they are named are mesmerising. Here, oceanic manta rays circle and whale sharks make surprise appearances, drawing divers from across the globe. The vertical walls, dropping to 60 metres, challenge even experienced divers, their currents a reminder that these sites belong first to the sea.
The Diver Center at Pimalai Resort & Spa offers specialised diving packages for those seeking an unforgettable experience at these sites.
Pimalai Resort & Spa is represented by Red Elephant Reps in the UK & Ireland markets.
