15 miles from Patong Bay
Anchor at Nai Yang Bay in approximately 8-10 metres on a sandy bottom. Aim to be north or south of the reef outcrop in front of the hotels, visible behind the trees. Good facilities are available at the hotels and there are some local (often illegal) restaurants ashore – although, as much of the area is in a National Park, the occasional blitz by the authorities tends to reduce the numbers for a while. Transport to town or the airport can be arranged.
