Description: |

Ao Bo Mao Bay is a half-moon curving beach. In low tide, it
reveals the wide flat beach stretching far. Every evening,
villagers are combing on the beach to collect crabs and
shellfish.
The bay is located in Chumkho sub-district,
10km. from Pa Thew district. In the past,Ao Bo Mao was deserted
and no dwelling, but abundant with nature and marine creatures.
Nonnative villagers enjoy fishing here and digging for
freshwater under Cha Mao Yai tree, thereby the name Bo Mao.
By the sea, the beach is shaded with pine trees. Many
restaurants and fishing boats are on service. At the end of the
bay is a big rock court called LaemThaen stretching out into the
sea. From this point, you
can see the wide view and the whole bay clearly. In high tide,
the clear water is perfect for strolling on the beach and
swimming. Moreover, it is easy to see the small island called
KohKhai.
Upfront of the island is the white sand cape,
forcing the bay formation on the sides, right and left. The fine
sand is soft, clean and serene. Dead corals are gathering on the
sand, inducing the eggshell color. The left bay offering round
and small rocks, clear water and school of fish, villagers like
to fish here.
When arrived at Bo Mao Bay, hire a local
boat at Thalay Thong Seafood restaurant. It takes about 25
minutes from Bo Mao Bay to KohKhai by boat.
The white
sand beach upfront is perfect for swimming. Only 50-meter away
following the buoy line, travelers can appreciate the shallow
water corals including plate-like corals, brain-like corals. The
varying fish including cartoon fish, parrot fish, sea horse and
squid are all around. The tall cliffs in the rear are the scuba
diving spot to enjoy colorful corals as beautiful as found at
KohNgamNoi and KohNgamYai.
KohKhai offers its beauty both
ashore and underwater to travelers. Especially the shallow water
corals, it is as stunning as found at KohLawa and Koh Lang
KaJiew. The high season is during March-May
