Nai Hahn Bay

Nai Harn

A sheltered bay from the North East monsoon
At 7° 46' 29.37" North 98° 18' 10.17"

Note, this bay in the South West Monsoon gives no protection.
The surf at high tide ensures a fast ride to the beach - beware. Every year a number of tourists are drowned.

During the Great Tsunami a large number of yachts were in this bay waiting to head off to the Red sea and beyond - fortunately they were all anchored well off shore so that when the Tsunami struck no yacht was taken, all rising and falling with the wave passing under. On shore a lot a damage - a lot of people drowned.
