Ao Nasai (Lipa Noi) Car Ferry Anchorage
9° 28.8′ N · 99° 55.5′ E
The bay at Lipa Noi, south of Nathon, where the Raja car ferries from Donsak land. Cruising guides treat it as a place to meet crew off the ferry rather than a destination.
Practical
Southeast Asia Pilot position 9°28.767'N 99°55.479'E; the Pilot does not recommend it unless you are meeting ferry passengers. The Raja Ferry Lipa Noi pier is at 9.4817, 99.9254 (OSM), so anchor clear of the ferry turning area. West-facing like Nathon: fine in NE winds, exposed in the SW monsoon. Wikivoyage describes Lipa Noi as an upcoming beach area south of Nathon. No depth figure is given by the Pilot: sound in.
Best for
Crew pick-up from the Donsak car ferry
