Whale sharks have over 3,000 teeth, but it&#039;s funny that they don&#039;t use them for eating, so they&#039;re practically useless. Another interesting fact about whale sharks is that each whale shark has different fingerprints in the form of dots on its body, just like different people have different fingerprints. Although they are not endangered, the species is listed as &quot;Vulnerable Species&quot; due to illegal poaching.<\/p>\n<h2>Best time to see whale sharks<\/h2>\n<p>April is the month when divers report the highest numbers of whale sharks. If you&#039;re lucky, you might also see them in February and March. Unfortunately, whale shark numbers have drastically declined due to ocean pollution and the killing of sharks by illegal means. During these months, the Richelieu Rocks in the Similan Islands are filled with crowds from all over the world to see this largest fish in the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u0422\u0443\u0440\u044b \u043f\u043e \u043d\u0430\u0431\u043b\u044e\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044e \u0437\u0430 \u043a\u0438\u0442\u043e\u0432\u044b\u043c\u0438 \u0430\u043a\u0443\u043b\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u043d\u0430\u0447\u0438\u043d\u0430\u044e\u0442\u0441\u044f \u0432 \u043e\u043a\u0442\u044f\u0431\u0440\u0435 \u0438 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0434\u043e\u043b\u0436\u0430\u044e\u0442\u0441\u044f \u0434\u043e \u043c\u0430\u044f. \u041d\u043e \u043f\u043e\u043c\u043d\u0438\u0442\u0435, \u0447\u0442\u043e \u043d\u0438 \u043e\u0434\u0438\u043d \u0438\u0437 \u0442\u0443\u0440\u043e\u0432 \u043d\u0435 \u0433\u0430\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0442\u0438\u0440\u0443\u0435\u0442 \u0432\u0430\u043c, \u0447\u0442\u043e \u0432\u044b \u0441\u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435\u0442\u0435 \u0443\u0432\u0438\u0434\u0435\u0442\u044c \u0430\u043a\u0443\u043b. \u041d\u0435 \u0432\u043e\u043b\u043d\u0443\u0439\u0442\u0435\u0441\u044c, \u0435\u0441\u043b\u0438 \u0432\u0430\u043c \u043d\u0435 \u0443\u0434\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0441\u044f \u043e\u0431\u043d\u0430\u0440\u0443\u0436\u0438\u0442\u044c \u043a\u0438\u0442\u043e\u0432\u0443\u044e \u0430\u043a\u0443\u043b\u0443, \u0435\u0441\u0442\u044c \u0435\u0449\u0435 \u043c\u043d\u043e\u0436\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e \u043c\u043e\u0440\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0445 \u0432\u0438\u0434\u043e\u0432, \u0441 \u043a\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0440\u044b\u043c\u0438 \u0432\u044b \u0441\u0442\u043e\u043b\u043a\u043d\u0435\u0442\u0435\u0441\u044c \u2014 \u0441\u043a\u0430\u0442\u044b \u043c\u0430\u043d\u0442\u0430, \u043c\u043e\u0440\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0435 \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043f\u0430\u0445\u0438 \u0438 \u0431\u0430\u0440\u0440\u0430\u043a\u0443\u0434\u044b.<\/p>\n<h2>The Best Places to See Whale Sharks in Thailand<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#039;re lucky, whale sharks can be found just about anywhere, but the most common dive sites to spot these graceful fish are Koh Tao&#039;s Sail Rock, on Chumphon Tower, and on the southwestern peak in the Gulf of Thailand. Phuket also occasionally sees whale sharks. Koh Tao is widely popular due to the variety of marine life. In addition to whale sharks, you can also spot trevally and barracuda.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Ko Tao<\/h3>\n<p>During whale season, from March to June, you can snorkel with whale sharks at Shark Island, a dive site on Koh Tao where sharks are commonly seen. Sharks swim close to the surface. Although they can dive hundreds of meters deep in cold water, they rise to the surface for warmth. They regularly appear in Koh Tao, feeding on plankton brought by undercurrents.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30183\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/\u0421\u043e\u0445\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0435-\u0438\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435-2019-8-27_18-16-9.45.jpg\" alt=\"Whale shark on Koh Tao\" width=\"1018\" height=\"658\" \/>\u041b\u0443\u0447\u0448\u0435\u0435 \u0432\u0440\u0435\u043c\u044f \u0434\u043b\u044f \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0435\u0449\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f: \u0441 \u043c\u0430\u0440\u0442\u0430 \u043f\u043e \u0438\u044e\u043d\u044c \u2014 \u0441\u0435\u0437\u043e\u043d \u043a\u0438\u0442\u043e\u0432\u044b\u0445 \u0430\u043a\u0443\u043b. \u0422\u0435\u043c \u043d\u0435 \u043c\u0435\u043d\u0435\u0435, \u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0442\u0430\u043a\u0436\u0435 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0443\u0442\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443\u044e\u0442 \u0437\u0434\u0435\u0441\u044c \u0432 \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0438\u043e\u0434 \u0441 \u043e\u043a\u0442\u044f\u0431\u0440\u044f \u043f\u043e \u0434\u0435\u043a\u0430\u0431\u0440\u044c.<\/p>\n<p>Cost: 2500 baht in Crystal Dive.
