Incorporating the Andaman Sea, Gulf of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia… and more
50 miles from Kawthaung
A well protected anchorage – even in northeasterlies. Anchor in 12 metres on a sand bottom clear of the fringing reef. There is resonable snorkelling from the anchorage to the southern point of the bay, but beware of ferocious rip tides off the point.
Ashore there is good jungle walking with a stream and a small waterfall. The mangrove estuary around the southern point is perfect for kayaking. There is now a small village ashore here that has, unfortunately, hunted the once-thriving wildlife to extinction.
