crazygreg44 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 "Irrawaddy" dolphins ? The species found at the burmese rivermouth ? Aren't they a sweetwater species? A little bit further south from Ko Samui there is Khanom Beach. All along the waterfront one can rent boats to go out for dolphin watching. They are rather numerous & familar to this area. Wouldn't take a dolphin very long to swim from there a few miles up north an "Irrawadyy" dolphin would have to swim all the way from the Irrawaddy River to Singapore before it entered the Gulf of Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
