Hazards

Shallow water and sandbars near shore require careful navigationBoat traffic from local fishing and tourist vesselsStrong currents during tidal changes in the baySea urchins and sharp rocks in shallow areas

Launch notes

Launch from the sandy beach during NE and N wind directions for cleanest conditions. Flat water and gentle slopes make this ideal for beginners, but watch for shallow sandbars extending from shore.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 15-17m kites given average winds of 9.4 kts; a directional board or beginner freestyle board works well for the flat-water conditions. Consider lighter wind kites as wind speeds are marginal year-round.

Clothing · A light 2-3mm wetsuit is suitable; water temperature stays warm year-round in Thailand. Rash guards provide sun protection and are often preferred to full wetsuits.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing activities and avoid launching during peak morning fishing hours. Be aware of other beach users and maintain distance from swimmers.

Additional notes

November offers the most reliable wind with NE directions ideal for the bay orientation. Always check tide schedules as water depth varies significantly, affecting launch zones and shallow water hazards.
