So the warm water (and less nutrients, etc.) are likely the reason the big whales aren't present there. Whale sharks feed on small fish and not krill, which is likely why you are seeing them and the other larger critters. Enjoy Thailand and the wildlife you do get to see! Best wishes, Cassandra Hi Sara,

Greeting from a Scot living and volunteering on sunny Koh Pah-Ngan (island in the gulf of Thailand) I have yet to see any larger sea creatures here… thoouhghthere are reports of whale SHARKS, dolphins, and other sharks, turles… the waters here seem sadly quiet of the big guys… Maybe there’s no krill here!?

We have been reading your post both us learning much more than we have ever known about the variety of krill and the pictures of the whales at play are simple breath taking.
