Whale Sharks in the Gulf of Thailand
Markus | Posted 1/7/2010

Last week I really believed to be looking into the eyes of God. Jumped into the warm sea at Chumphon Pinnacle, near Koh Samui, Thailand, and immediately saw a young whale shark just below the water surface, swimming towards me and passing slowly in about 2 feet distance. What a beautiful animal!

Most of them are within an hour driving distance from the capital, San Juan. I have visited all of them - and in this blog article I put up some pictures and directions for the north shore between Arecibo and Fajardo.
