Ban Krood is not only the gateway to the South, it is also the first suitable snorkeling spot that one can find in the Gulf of Thailand, where the underwater world in the area still remains intact and unspoiled. The favorite places for snorkeling are Haad Ban Krood Beach, Koh Ramra Island, and Koh Thalu Island. Haad Ban Krood Beach has large, shallow water, circular coral reef. It is a patch reef that is seldom found in Thailand. This type of reef has corals that are shaped like large stones with kaffir lime (Makrood) like surface. The local people therefore called these corals Hin Krood, or kaffir lime corals. Ramra Island is situated north of Haad Ban Krood Beach. There is a coral reef surrounding the island, which can be seen quite clearly from aerial photographs. Koh Thalu Island has a cave that runs through both ends of the Island, which is its distinctive feature and the source of its name in Thai. (Thalu means to pierce through.) At the northern cape of the Island, there is a red steep cliff. There are four beaches on the island. The surrounding waters are the habitats of branching corals, massive corals and brain corals. Koh Thalu Island has two satellite islands called Kho Sung, and Koh Sing islands, which are also very beautiful spots where one can see shallow water corals.
