Ban Ko Kwang is a small coastal locale in southern Thailand. It sits near the Malacca Strait in Phang-nga Province and is not a major dive hub. There are a few dive sites within travel distance, but the village itself does not host a large diving scene. Access is primarily by road and boat from nearby towns; snorkeling and boat trips to nearby reefs or wrecks are typical day excursions for locals and visitors staying in the region. If you’re planning a dive trip in this area, you’ll likely base yourself in a larger coastal town with dive centers offering guided trips to nearby reefs and historical wrecks along the Andaman coast.
