KOH YAO NOI, N’WEST BAY

19 miles from Yacht haven

08°11.058N, 98°37.484E

This anchorage at Koh Yao Noi is a pretty one. It’s on the outer fringe of a deep bay backed by mangrove swamps and flat ground. It offers protection in both seasons, with good holding on a muddy bottom. Anchor well out in the bay in 4-5 metres. Be sure to allow enough swinging room to accommodate an onshore breeze.

Dinghy trips ashore are possible at high tide. There is a beach with a few huts at the back of the bay. Behind the beach are some great trails either side of the creek. The bay dries a considerable distance from the beach at low tide. Because os this, you need to keep an eye on your timing – unless you want to do the dinghy drag.
