There is no specific historical information provided, but its role as a fishing ground indicates a long-standing interaction with local communities.
The primary marine attraction at Ko Kram is its vibrant coral reefs, which host a variety of reef fish. Divers can expect to see common tropical species, and the fishing activity might attract some opportunistic feeders. While specific large animals are not mentioned, the coral ecosystems support diverse small marine life, including various invertebrates and juvenile fish.
Ko Kram is ideal for snorkelers and beginner divers due to its shallow, accessible depths and rich coral formations.
