Practical

Iamkohchang: about 30 minutes by boat southwest of Bang Bao pier, dropping to over 20 m. The coordinate is OpenStreetMap's 'Hin Luk Bath' dive-site point. It is consistent with the 30-minute southwest bearing but not confirmed by a cruising guide, so use a dive boat or local knowledge. Exposed open water: a calm-day site. Visibility is 10–15 m in season.
