LOH PARET BAY

18 miles from Yacht haven

LOH PARET BAY. 7°58.789N, 98°34.075E

There’s great holding in 4-7 metres off the white sandy beach in the north of the bay and south of the Santithiya Resort Jetty.

There are several shops and restaurants ashore and the main resort welcomes yachties, has a spa and one of the largest swimming pools in the region. If staying overnight, we suggest move to the southern end of the bay to avoid the all-night Karaoke party club at the small resort next to the Yao Yai Resort. Road access is just behind the beach and the main town is a few kilometres away.

Pandemic impact

The current edition was published just a few months before the Covid-19 pandemic started to bite. We have not attempted to update this online version (or the new ebook version) as some situations change rapidly, while others are subject to unverifiable rumour.

So, if you are cruising now, please verify information before setting out for your destination and please understand that amenities ashore may be less than posted here or in the book. As 'compensation', you'll find many islands and beaches in the kind of pristine condition not seen for many years in the more developed tourist destinations.
