Ko Ha Yai is not really suitable for an overnight stop and it can get very busy, for good reason with dive boats and snorkelling trips.  We were fortunate and picked up a deep water buoy just off the reef left vacant by a departing dive boat.  The snorkelling was great and it was easy to see why one of the rocks is called Floating Island.

 

The Floating Island – it is fun snorkelling through the gap
