alijtaylor: I saw that fella in koh Bon while diving on a liveaboard (liveaboard to similan/surin). We actually spent a nice 30 or so minutes alone with my girlfriend with 3-5 different mantas circeling around us! It was definitely the dive of my life. All mantas came to check us out many times and got as close as one meter stopping there to hover in a current for a while.
If you're planning to do even a bit of diving in thailand make sure you book a liveaboard to Similan islands. I've been there numerous times and it's definitely a place to visit every time I'm in thailand. The funniest thing about diving on a liveaboard is that it can actually be even cheaper than doing daytrips and you'll reach places you won't be able to dive on a daytrip. The price thingie applies for thailand don't know about other destinations![]()
