Koh Maithon is a small, beautiful island only six miles from Ao Chalong with a resort on its east coast. The resort, abandoned for several years, has been refurbished. There is a jetty protected by a concrete breakwater. However, at the time of writing, resort boats and pre-booked mass day trippers have exclusive use of this jetty. The resort does not welcome visiting yachts.
Be aware of the fringing reefs to the north and southeast of the main beach.

8 miles from Ao Chalong
During the northeast monsoon season, a very small bay in the middle of the west coast offers good overnight holding, for one or two boats, in 10-12 metres on a sand and rock bottom. You can often find schooling bottlenose dolphins off this bay. Day trip catamarans often raft up during the day in this anchorage.
There’s a 15-minute walk across the island on a carved track to its east coast. People say this anchorage is a great spot for catching red snapper at night. Try hand lines with fresh bait.
10 miles from ao Chalong
In the southwest monsoon, look for anchorage in 6-10 metres on the sandy bottom south of the concrete jetty. A useful sheltered anchorage with a great beach not far from Ao Chalong. The resort ashore does not welcome visiting yachts.
