The resort pier at Loh Pared on Koh Yao Yai's west coast, the most convenient dinghy landing for the island's busiest beach strip of restaurants, shops and resorts.

Practical

Position from the OpenStreetMap pier way (Santhiya Pier). The Southeast Asia Pilot's Loh Paret Bay waypoint is 07°58.789N 98°34.075E; it says the main resort welcomes yachties and has a spa and large pool, and warns of an all-night karaoke club at a small resort beside Yao Yai Resort. Ask the resort before tying a dinghy to its pier.
