Overview

Edit

A kite spot near Thongsala Pier. Beautiful waist-deep water and a sandy beach. Advanced rides can go to Koh Tae Nai island, where the wind is usually a bit stronger.

There might be quite some water activity on the water, from ships at the pier, fishing, swimmers, so please pay attention.

In case of no wind, there is a plenty of other things to do – excellent diving, jet ski, snorkeling, yoga …

Wind

Two wind seasons: December – March and June – September. Windless April.
Usually 15-20 knts, but can sometimes reach 30 knts too. Thermal and trade wind.

Dangers

Reef, ships, fishnets, shells

It is your responsibility to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
