Practical

Southeast Asia Pilot waypoint 08°20.017N 98°30.284E, about 22 nm from Yacht Haven. 4–9 m east of the village. A light structure on a small rocky islet at the river entrance marks the approach from the south; the course in is straight, so favour the right-hand side for deeper water. Avoid the many floating fish cages. Keep a sharp lookout for speeding tour boats and noisy longtails, which start early, so plan an early departure. A cruising crew in January 2025 came upriver on the rising tide and left on the last of the ebb. Dinghy landings at the village.
