17 miles from Yacht haven
Situated halfway down the west coast of Koh Yao Yai, Ao Labu is easily recognised. It is the bay directly east of the twin stack islands of Koh Sup. Coming from the south, take the channel between Koh Nui and the headland. It is deep (5 metres) right up until the concrete jetty on the headland.
In the southwest season there’s good overnight anchorage at Ao Labu, South End. Anchor in 4-5 metres behind the small island of Koh Nui or anywhere close to the jetty out of the swell. Don’t venture south of the jetty head since the bank dries. Behind the corrugated iron community is a wide creek with excellent dinghy exploration.
If coming from the north beware of the rocky outcrop a half mile north of Koh Nui and just visible at low tide.

“This is a very beautiful spot. You should say something about it in your guide. Unfortunately it is difficult to stop there. I anchored on the SE side in a depth of 17m and it worked, but I do not know what the bottom is.” Feedback from Robert Reitbauer. He’s right. It’s a great place to stop for lunch and a swim. Bottom is mud and sand.
