TAPHAO YAI ANCHORAGE

7 miles from Ao Chalong

07°49.905N, 98°24.617E

The best anchorage for yachts lies on the north side of Koh Taphao Yai in front of a small resort in 5-8 metres on a muddy bottom. It’s safe in all seasons, but can be very choppy in the northeast monsoon.

Not the most picturesque location. And, at the time of writing, a small jetty with a floating pontoon and road access to Phuket Town has been replaced by a much larger jetty – part of the Visit Panwa pier – which is much less dinghy-friendly.
