Preservation area
The Ko Kham Undersea Park is part of a royal project of Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn that preserves the plants and animals of the sea and island. It is home to many kinds of fish, including bluespotted stingrays, moray eels, fusilier fish, angel fish and lionfish.[2]
Tourism
Visitors are restricted, although tourist attractions on the island include fishing, swimming, bicycle riding and hiking.[3] The islands are also well known for their diving areas.[4][failed verification][5] Since the island is within a military area, off-limits for casual tourists, booking has to be done through local travel agents.
