KOH RANG YAI ANCHORAGE

4 miles from Phuket Boat Lagoon Marina

(A) 07°57.080N, 98°26.744E
(B) 7°57.379N, 98°27.085E

Anchor in 6-9 metres off the beach on a sand and mud bottom, with a good holding in both seasons on either coast. A brisk current runs through the anchorage on springs so don’t try and swim ashore.

The west side is a remarkably beautiful location with a lovely beach. You can gain access to the middle of the beach at all tides.

Given the proximity of west Koh Rang to the shallow, muddy eastern coast of Phuket, this anchorage is truly a bonus as a stopover en route either north or south, or whilst waiting for the tide to enter the Phuket Boat Lagoon or Royal Phuket Marina.

Ashore is a recreation facility with restaurant, (daytime only). At the time of writing, there were canoes, mountain bikes for the island trails, mini golf and snorkelling gear for hire. The northeast side is sometimes more comfortable in the strong southwesterlies.
