Merely an (admittedly) preliminary search produces - as suspected - two Delisle Islands, each with references to different Thai names at two different locations:- 1) Koh Piam : N 9 degrees 45 minutes/E 98 degrees 25 minutes 2) Goh Piam: N 9 degrees 40 minutes/E 98 degrees 20 minutes [source:] Gazetteer to maps of Thailand / compiled under the supervision of the United States Board on Geographic Names. - December 1944 [ed.]. - Washington DC : Army Map Service, War Department [, 1944?]. - xiv,972p., [4] leaves (fold.) of plates : col. maps ; 23 cm Can you/anyone else take it from here, or shoud I check AMS maps and/or US/British nautical charts etc.?

Thailand Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 04:40:09 +0000 From: obiwon five <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] 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.
