This is an island controlled by the Royal Thai navy, so the use of the beaches is restricted. There is, however, some good diving off the south side of the island. The small sheltered bay is excellent for beginner divers to do their skills. The main attraction of Koh Phai is the wreck of the HTMS Khram (depth 26m). This WWII landing craft was sunk in early 2003 to create an artificial reef.
