A pair of small islands about 2 nm west-southwest of Chicken Island with excellent snorkelling and diving and plentiful park moorings, used as a daytime stop between Railay and Phi Phi.
Practical
Southeast Asia Pilot waypoint 07°56.876N 98°46.687E, about 6 nm from Ao Nang. The northwest side gives a daytime anchorage in both seasons in calmer conditions only. Use the National Parks moorings, which the Pilot calls abundant; if all are taken, anchor in 3-4 m on the sandy shelf between the two islands. Leave in time to reach your overnight anchorage before sundown.

A snorkelling lunch stop between Railay and Phi Phi
