Practical

Southeast Asia Pilot position 11°59.188N 102°22.410E, about 15 pontoons. OpenStreetMap maps the marina at the same spot. Noonsite (Jan 2019) reports two docking facilities in the bay. One is Island View Marina, a pier with power and water for about 10 boats; a cruiser paid 5,000 THB a month in 2019 (verify locally). The other is pricier and does not allow sleeping aboard. Iamkohchang says many private owners moor at the Island View pier or the small marina near the head of the bay. Contact the marina before arriving; no VHF channel is published.
