Hi all,

I am having difficulty identifying a Thai island on the Anadaman Sea coast
where the British set up a radio post in WW1. In the early 1900s it was
called Delisle island, and is one of the islands just south of Burma's
Mergui archipelago.
There's not a lot of online references, and those that claim to locate it
give me two different islands: Ko Phayam NW of Kapoe in Ranong province, and
the tiny Ko Khangkhao, W of Kapoe.
Delisle may be either of these, or even another one entirely.

Can someone with older (or even current?) nautical charts of this area
identify it officially?
I'd love a lat/long, and also it's current (Thai) name if possible.


Thank you

Brendan Whyte
THAILAND
