Snorkel· Koh Man Nai· Thailand
Koh Man Nai and Koh Man Nok
12° 1.0′ N · 102° 17.2′ E · approximate
A pair of rocky islets just off Kai Bae beach, with fringing reef close to the rocks. Koh Man Nai is the inner one and sits right on the coastal route south.
Practical
The Southeast Asia Pilot lists both as offshore snorkelling islands with fringing reefs, and advises leaving Koh Man Nai to port when heading south down the coast. The coordinate is placed just off Koh Man Nai's shore, from OpenStreetMap's outlines of Koh Man Nai and Koh Man Nok, which lies about 1.5 km further west. Dinghy over from the Kai Bae anchorage. Keep the anchor off coral.
