Destination: Koh Rang

07.57 N 97.25 E


Twin islands just E of the Phuket coast, pleasant anchorages offering good shelter in both seasons. Perfect for a lunch stop. Quite good snorkeling.

A lovely long sandy beach on the W side of Koh Rang Yai (the biggest of the two islands). There is also a pearl farm (in a floating pearl cage) and a (day time) restaurant. During the day, the island gets some day-trip visitors. Good holding on the NE of the island in the SW season.

Ko Rang Noi, the smaller island to the NE of Koh Rang Yai, has a small pleasant beach.
