Koh Bon or Bon
Island
Koh Bon is a beautiful tropical island
off the coast of Phuket, just 15 minutes away from Rawai beach. It
is a tranquil island with soft white sand and crystal clear waters.
The water close to the shore boasts excellent snorkelling
opportunities while further out to sea is where you will find some
of the Andaman Sea’s best scuba diving spots.
A relatively unknown island off Phuket's
south-east coast, Bon Island (Koh Bon) can easily be reached by the
local long-tail boat or speed boat from any of Phuket's main
beaches.
Enjoy the scenery as you travel along Phuket
Island's west or east coast. Ask your boat driver to stop at the
south-west corner of Bon Island for snorkelling and don't forget to
bring some bread with you to feed the fish.
When you arrive at Koh Bon find somewhere to
relax in the shadow of one of the many Dtery trees, however i don't
recommend falling asleep under a coconut tree! As you walk around,
be sure to look for the different kinds of Wildlife found on the
island, especially the hundreds of Hermit Crabs as they search for
food or a new shell to move into. Spend your time relaxing on the
beach, explore the underwater world or simply take a look around
the rock-pools at low tide.
Important notice: It's easier to reach this
cache during the low tide mainly if you are walking from the nearby
beach, so be sure to check the tide table before you go.
Small note on
cache maintenance: wollepatong has graciously offered to assist.
Many Thanks!
