Koh Yai Ranger Station (Koh Hong group)
8° 13.5′ N · 98° 30.3′ E · approximate
The Ao Phang Nga National Park ranger post on Koh Yai in the Koh Hong group, where rangers set out to collect the park entry fee from anchored yachts.
Practical
Position approximate: Southeast Asia Pilot places the station on Koh Yai beside the Koh Hong anchorages but gives no waypoint, so this point marks the group east of Anchorage A. Expect a ranger boat alongside soon after you anchor. Ao Phang Nga National Park fee is collected in cash by rangers who come to the boat: Southeast Asia Pilot quotes 400 THB per person per day (undated, verify locally); a cruising yacht in January 2025 paid 300 THB per person on a receipt valid five days. Keep your receipt to show at later park anchorages.
