Tourists watched as a pair of endangered whale sharks played in the water off the coast of a island in Thailand.

Footage shows the gentle giants swimming off Koh Hong island in the Than Bok Khorani National Park in Krabi province on July 4.

The curious creatures approached a boat and swam under it, delighting visitors.

Park staff later issued a warning to boat operators to exercise caution while passing through the Koh Hong area.

Whale sharks are listed as an endangered species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.

They are also recognised as preserved wild animals under The Wild Animal Conservation and Protection Act.
