Pattaya the Far Islands

These are three sets of islands about 15km off Pattaya.
Because these sites are farther from the city, they don't get the volume of boat and jet-ski traffic as the near islands.
It takes about 90 minutes cruising time to get there, but the sites are worth the trip.
The Far Island chain contains six islands - Koh Rin, Koh Man Wichai, Koh Hu Chang, Koh Phai "Bamboo Island", Samae San, Koh Chuang, Koh Chan and Submarine Rock, although we generally only dive four of these as the others are too shallow.
As the far islands are uninhabited and a little further from Pattaya bay.
The visibility tends to be marginally better than at the near islands.
All of the far Islands have large amounts of jacks, trevellys, barracuda, rabbit fish, angelfish, butterfly fish, wrasse, gobi's and as with the near islands thousands of damselfish. More often turtles and small sharks are seen at the outer islands.
