NORTH CHANNEL (Chong Lat)

25 miles from Yacht haven

08°16.651N, 98°37.823E

This is a quiet location in the north channel. It enjoys beautiful views of the sheer cliffs of Koh Chong Lat to the west. The chart shows the anchorage is on a direct line between the two islets, in 8-10 metres. It is near a lovely mangrove-covered flat, which is awash at high tide.

This spot is good for all wind conditions. However, mid-tide currents of up to three knots mean that you should take care if swimming from the boat. Local lore has it that there are no longer any crocodiles in the area. Instead, there are families of sea otters which can be spotted at dusk.

To the east on the mainland at Laem Sak village is an excellent seafood restaurant which can be accessed directly by dinghy at high tide or via a concrete jetty on the west side of the headland at the head of the mangrove creek.
