Brendan--According the GEOnet Names Server (GNS)
(http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html),
Delisle Island is one of
the variant names for Phayam, Ko, lat/long 09° 44'
00" N 098° 25' 00" E.

Hope this helps!

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
