Koh Yuak

12° 1.4′ N · 102° 15.9′ E · approximate

A small islet off Kai Bae with a tiny beach on its east side and shallow fringing reef. It is a favourite kayak and dinghy snorkel from the west-coast anchorages.

Practical

The Southeast Asia Pilot lists Koh Yuak, Koh Pli, Koh Man Nok and Koh Man Nai as offshore islands with fringing-reef snorkelling. The coordinate is placed just off the islet's east shore, from OpenStreetMap's outline of Koh Yuak. Day-trip SUP and charter boats also visit. Do not anchor on coral; go by dinghy from Kai Bae.
