Take-off description
Two options: -At Windmill (70m), just under on the grass area. Very large and easy. Needs due West wind. -From Black Rock on the northern side of the beach (300m). S-SW wind.
Getting there
To Windmill its a ten minutes hike from the beach through a little path starting from the southern end of the beach or get a Tuk-tuk. To Black Rock you can hike from the north-east end of the lagoon to the top in about 45 minutes through rubber plantation and forest (mostly in the shade) or go by road to the road to Nui Beach. Renting a scooter cost 200 baht a day. follow the road from google map to take off.
Weather
Due west is highly recommended. By WSW the little island creates rotors. By WNW Leam Krating (Krating point), on the northern end of the bay, also creates rotors that makes landing on the beach unsafe.
Comments
Dont fly unless there is enough wind to give enough lift. Theres not much to land at the bottom.
