There is a big difference between whales and whalesharks: one are mammals, the others fish.



Normally there are no big whales in the area. Chance of seeing whalesharks: in the Richelieu Rock-Koh Tachai area, close to Surin Islands. You have to go on a diving trip though to see them, there are no whale watching trips.

At the moment there are 2 pods of killer whales in the same area. This is really exceptional, we hardly ever see them here.
